Well, a month or so back I did some road testing with a
G-Tech. I didn't use the HP function but watched the
g-force reading, which was 0.37 over most of 2nd gear.
That gives a calculated 259HP delivered at 70MPH and
about 295HP at 80MPH (my shiftpoint) using a 3750lb
weight (wild-*** guess there). If you want to see peak
HP you have to run past the upshift at full throttle.
