Funny ScangaugeII HP Readings

My 1998 stock 5.4 produces around 800 BHP, I guess I got the Ford secret test model
All other readings seem ok.

Did you update the guage with your specific motor?

Hey, gives you something to "brag" about! Post a picture of it so everyone will know you can blow them away!

Seriously though. I think I'd be talking with whoever you got it from. There's no reason you should be using something that's lying to you - unless it isn't!

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I transposed a 0 and a 4. I lost about 600HP guess I need to add some stickers to boost it again

Hey, don't knock it - look at it as "instant performance"!

You gotta love those ScanGauge II numbers. It gave Raptor05121 232 HP on a 4.2. My 4.2 has shown 250 HP, with e-fans, an intake, Flowmaster muffler, and Troyer tuning. I can't wait to see how many extra horses I get with an underdrive pulley. What do you guys think? Should 250 HP 4.2 be in my sig for all to see?
