I have added the HP readout to my X-gauge. It is interesting to note my car requires 20 hp to go 55mph on the flat. I think this could be a usefull tool for future aerodynamics testing.
You can have Horsepower read out on your ScanGauge as you drive.
To start, from the HOME screen use MORE>MORE>MORE>XGAUGE
Then in the top right select the number of the XGauge memory you want to use (0 to 24)
Next <EDIT this will take you to the TXD screen
Using the buttons next to + and - after each character the -> in the top right will move to the next character space.
Enter 00 into the TXD screen and press OK> You will be taken to RXF
Enter 400080000000 and press OK> you will be take to RXD
Enter 0000 and press OK> you will be taken to MTH (math)
Enter 000A00170000 and press OK> you will be taken to NAME
You can enter whatever name you would like up to 3 characters, when you are finished press OK>
Lastly press SAVE.
Now you can select your new gauge just like any other one. From the home screen, press GAUGE press the button next to the gauge you want to use for the XGauge. Keep pressing as needed until your newly created XGauge name appears.
that is right off of their web site. the fact that you only have 4 windows makes me want to chose very carefully which ones I want to display. I have hp and af ratio but I don't display them all the time. it is kind of cool to see

I did the HP readout and found my hot-rod roots... of course I naturally wanted to see what 6500 rpm would bring. @ rev limiter in 1st gear I'm making 111hp.
So I went back and deleted the HP readout because it's pretty useless and WAY too tempting.
The really bad one is % load. My brother in law was playing with it and he put the truck in drive with his foot on the brake and gave it a lot of gas to see how high he could get the % load to... All the while I was praying he didn't give it so much gas that it would break free of the brakes and launch us through the garage door.
