Hey with data logging tuners can you pretty much get a good idea of horsepower. Just with data logging? Just curious?

Im tuning with an HP.... works great.
As for HP, I think it gives you a general idea of your hp range, but your gonna have to go to a dyno for better numbers.
Thats just what I think.

that's cool, just curious. I understand for sure it could be off a bit. But it's probably more accurate then just guessing!

how would you get HP levels from a dataloger? dataloging just lets you moniter engine functions after the fact

Well there are programs like eec analyzer that you can put in tire size etc., with that, if possible logs of engine rpm and mph/kph, etc. you would think you could better estimate horsepower.

Really when you think about it, what does a dyno do exactly. Like what does it measure, tire turns, speed of tires, torque, and other sensors maybe.

Just thought it was reasonable to assume that people who do real time data logging would probably be able to better estimate or come close to approx. combo hp with these tools. Rather than just a short sighted guess of what there combo makes in terms of hp.

What I am pretty much asking is, for a good tune with real time data logging capabilities etc. Is there really a need for a dyno.

if you have tuning software, and a wideband then technically you dont need a dataloger.
