Howdy Lyndon,

It calculates the power that your engine produces, however its real
power, at the wheels, because it requires other information other than
just listening to the engine... so it takes into consideration load. 
However, it cannot distinguish the difference between an aerodynamically
"perfect" 6000lb car versus a 3000lb aerodynamically "embarrassing"
car... load is load, and the software doesn't break that apart... though
you do enter your vehicle's weight and other parameters.

Its close though, damn close !
