Default GM Tech 2 Programmer

I had my friend at a Chevy dealer hook theirs up to my car and we went for a drive. It showed 355 lb ft of tq, what would that translate to in hp in a 6-speed? That was at the top of 3rd gear and then I let off, just curious.


Thanks

horsepower = rpm x torque / 5252
rpm = "top of third" ~ 6000RPM

BHP = 6000 x 355 / 5252
BHP = 406

Wow thats cool the GM Tech 2 will read the tq from the motor. SWEET i want one. What other kind stuff could you do with it. Could you custom program you comp. for bigger cam, rev limiter, and other stuff like that??? Cause i have a friend that works at a GM dealership too ( same person, Hi Tony ) and i could have him reprogram my comp for my cam and stuff. :D Anyone ever used one of these before??
Later guys

I doubt that the Tech II can truly measure torque. It probably infers it from some other data that sensors in the car can make.
