Determining RWHP using datamaster...

Is it possible to determine how much HP I am running via datamaster? I know I can log my 0-60 times, but that really doesnt do me any good considering I am on street tires and I can get there in about 1 second.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've heard you can take the grams per sec flowed and times that by 1.1 to get an APPROX. rwhp.

That is a rough estimate and it is only good for untouched, stock mass airflow sensors.

0-60 in one second is pretty amazing.

Datamaster has a built in HP estimator (Datamaster Dyno) in the menu if you can figure out how to set it up correctly.

I would assume that it would not work with nitrous also.
