I'm assuming thats crank HP, if you're driving an LX w. 117HP, then 5HP on top of that, plus or minus here and ther for error sounds about right, sure.

The G-Tech Pro measures net horsepower which is after the effect of drag. The best horsepower measurements will be in the lower gears due to less drag as a result of less speed. On their site, they say that it will be lower than a dynomometer.

I think it is really cool I got it on ebay for $50.00 new instead of $150.00.
it does more than just HP. it does quarter mile times, 0-60 times Gforce and stopping distance. Knipple is right it measures after drig so I think it would me more like real world horse power.I just ordered a header cat and greddy cat back hope to get it in tomarow then I will make anouther run with it.

you have to make sure your weight is accurate for the HP estimate to be accurate on those.. local landfills usually have a scale accurate to the nearest 10lb's and should be free since they just use it to check how much people are dumping..
