Thanks! I actually did read that thread over on HPTuners, but honestly, some of it is greek to me. There is a LOT about this stuff that I am just getting my feet wet with.

I guess what I am looking for is something that HPTuners can provide as a measure of the power output that any changes you make to the engine's parameters will produce. Since there is the capability of capturing some sort of data related to torque, this seems like perhaps it would fit the bill. The actual numbers don't have to actually be dead on accurate, just consistent. In other words, all things remaining equal, the output results would remain the same. So if I made any changes, then ran it again, those changes would show a proportional change, better or worse, than what I had before the change.

Oh, one thing I must have missed in that thread was the manner in which this torque value is determined. Is there actually a strain sensor somewhere that can determine torque values delivered by the engine?
