Cool!!
For some strange reason mine seems to remain at the 240-250 area even when spraying? The TQ will climb a little.. but the HP won't? Oh well.. I have timeslips that prove I'm puttin down a few extra ponies.
EDIT: Just went out. On my 87 octane tune pushing 16degrees of timing I got 240hp at 5100 to 5500

I have never read the TQ on mine.
Mine seems to read the high number right after i let off. in about 3rd gear going 70ish. THe scangauge has a slight delay on the reading.

i mean for reading a max of 252 before the charger and now 336 on the same gauge. id say there was a decent improvement!
yeah if i was you id try to get the tune from Doug.

Zach, do you have the "rate" set to high? Also, one other thing you can do to speed up the refresh rate is to set them all to one reading. That's makes it nearly instant... except for "HP".
Horse power is not real except on a farm... with horses. It's a calculation that's derived from TQ vs rpms.
(Torque x Engine speed) / 5,252 = Horsepower
So.. setting them all to HP won't help speed it up.
What I do it set both LH readings to TQ, the RH top to HP and the RH bott to TQ.
btw, everytime you unplug the scanguage you need to reset the "rate" to high.

As far as modern day autos, a far better way to understand acceleration is engine torque, gear ratios (tranny & rear end), and tire diameter. The term horsepower only adds confusion to the power of an engine and how to make it work best for the intended use. (TQ curve vs gear ratios is what you really want to understand)
