The squeal was from the alternator, it seems to be gone now. Not sure on the HP. The app says at the wheels, but you would think I would need to enter information like gear ratio and weight.

Your right Dan, my ScanXl requires such things as tire diameter, FD ratio, vehicle weight, etc when using the Drag Strip software.

hp should be accurate with just weight entered, calculates from accelerometer in the phone or gps and weight.

The GTX was here again today. There was a clunking going on when turning, starting or stopping. I inspected the sub frame real good, found no cracks. The right side ball joint looked a little loose. I was able to turn the castle nut only 1 and a half flats. I then hit the sub frame bolts with the impact turned all the way up to 150psi. One rear bolt turned about 1 and a half turns, the other turned about half a turn. The fronts moved a little. So far, no clunk. Better stay that way too.

I think he'* about 13 pounds of boost right now.
