How is it that when i read about salvage engines on a dyno making +/-340 hp stock or with only headers and factory software? I thought they were rated 285hp?

Because most of the guys using the engine dynos are basically using gross HP ratings like they did in the 60s.

Dyno with no accessories, electric water pump, etc. They are rated at 285 net, which includes all accessories and emissions equip, plus water pump, etc.

That explains a lot. I never knew those accessories ate so much power.

You can log fuel pressure with the basic too. Just use the AC port and a FP sensor with the same output signal. You can even install a switch in the line so you can log fuel pressure when you want (AC will probably be off anyway) then when you don't, switch it so the AC wiring is as normal and have your AC. It's a win-win. Just have to set up the PID like you do with the EGR wideband.
