    Ive heard of cars gaing a couple of hp after thousands of miles. My trucks UG read 165hp when merging on a highway ramp It caught my eye.. every place Ive ever read says 157hp for these trucks. Is the UG wrong or what gives. Anyone else get higher UG readings ??

    UG is just making up numbers based on an educated guess.

    So it's showing an 8hp (~5%) difference and those are crazy numbers? UG isn't a dyno it's a tiny computer using a predetermined algorithm to make an estimate based on some data fed to it thru the ECU.
