I have the older G-tech so this info is about that. You have to put in a fudge factor for wind resistance. If your 6000 RPM pull was in 2nd gear at about 60mph you could guess you are using about 15 horsepower to fight wind resistance.

I calculate my flywheel HP as follows. G-tech number (190) plus 15 HP for wind and 10 percent (20HP) for drive train loss. That would put you at 225 at the flywheel.

You have to have an accurate weight programmed in for this to be valid. My wind resistance number is a WAG (Wild A$$ Guess).
