Default In EFI Live how do you make the Hp Calculator work??

I have tried this with my Trans am and my 03 Duramax, And it always stays at 0 hp?? Do I need other pids to make it work? Also Is this a very acurate way to judge Hp? Thanks

It shows up in the Data tab when reviewing a log. I've only had EFI Live for about an hour so that's all I can tell you.
And the PID is on right?

The only place I can see it is in the "data" tab. Viewing the dasjboard in either format doesn't show it. If you view the tabular form in data does it show up? Open a log and then select the "Data F9" Mine is the 4th row down labeled "POWER_RW".
Hey, one of my other logs shows 122HP

Weird. They work on my car. Try using the custom power PID developed in the EFI-Live fourm. The OEM stuff compensates for alot more but the custom one should be somewhere remotely accurate in 4th gear.

Great, like I said, I just got EFI Live today so I've got a ton of learning to do.
The software looks like our industrial stuff. If anybody works in the power, petroleum, turbine industry you'd heard of Bently NV. product. I've worked for them for 22 years and we make monitoring equipment for rotating machinery...and other stuff.

you may have the wrong data entered in the calc.pid file. i dont use it but mine does work but not accurately it is from someone elses calc.pid file for a gto so the wieght is incorrect i'm not really sure how it works i've attached what i have for you to compare to

When you enter your VIN or go to File, Enter Vin you can enter your vehicle weight, but I don't thank that's the whole picture. Mine shows numbers that are way off too (33hp on a full throttle run tonight in 3rd gear to nearly redline) and I have my 02 vert SS tipping the scale at 3556lbs....maybe if I enter 20,000lbs I'll get a better HP number?

The program also has all of the curb weights ready to select if you don't have any idea what your vehicle weighs.

I wish I could add value to this thread, but I'm trying to figure it out also.
