Hey!

Yes this was with some scanner with a live graph that I borrowed from my friends shop one day to play around with.

But its pretty accurate, I mean I know its just a computer, but when the A?C is ACTIVE I know for a fact that amount of HP is gone because engine load reaches 100% faster, and pressing the pedal faster ot harder to the floor didnt make it faster when it was on. The feeling of lost power was very obvious. And this was done on the same level long stretch of a driveway, so hills have nothing to do with what I felt + the scanner results displayed via OBDII.
