Default Accurate Horsepower?

Well i Was playing around with this Gtech RR i got for a birthday present,

and i have a stock 90 accord auto matic, and its saying my car has about 90 Hp.. and thats at the crank... Could that be correct?

I know my cars not fast or anything, but 90 crank horsepower?

That would mean im making like 60 at the wheels..

Does anyone know a ballback of what a Stock F22 should make?

F22a1 (dx, lx) = 125hp

F22a4 (ex) = 130hp

F22a6 (ex wagon, se) = 140hp

HOWEVER! These figures are all measured at the crank (...I'm 99% sure), AND these figures would be true (ish) when the motor was in peak-operating-condition.

Add 16-13 years of driving to the equation...and your definitely not making the full HP of the young, vibrant, new engine, anyway.

Oh, and, with the Gtech thingys, did you happen to be going up a hill (even slightly) when you got this HP reading? They (Gtech's) can be very finnicky about that.

yup..you have to take into account your motor isnt as healthy as it was when it was rband enw anymore. and did you put the EXACT weight of your car inclduing your own fatass into the gtech? a improper weight and it can throw your HP off. andmake sure the road surface is as straight and smooth as possible. anything from surface friction to drag will also change your HP numbers. the gtech should only be used to give a rough idea of what HP your car is making and should never be substituted for a dyno. there is just to many variables with the gtech, but it is a great tool/toy to have
