The vehicle weight is also used to calculate Horsepower and Torque and therefore it
must be entered correctly to provide accurate test results.
Vehicle Weight refers to the “curb” weight of the vehicle as it will be tested. This is not
only the weight of the vehicle alone, but should also include any additional weight for
fuel, cargo, and the weight of any passengers that are present during a Drag Strip or
Dynamometer test.
Your nearest race tracks should have scales to accurately measure the weight of the
vehicle as it is to be tested. This is the best way to ensure the highest level of accuracy,
but you can obtain the vehicle’s curb weight from the owner’s manual or internet and
then add the weight of any passengers, fuel, and cargo. On average gasoline fuel
weighs 6.2 lbs. per gallon, so keep this in mind when calculating your vehicle’s overall
weight. If you make any changes to the vehicle remember to adjust the vehicle weight
setting to maintain the highest level of accuracy.
Touch ENTER after entering the vehicle weight and the HyperPAC™ will display the
complete Vehicle Information Report.
