obdII and torque for android

So I am using this right now and love it. Bought a Bluetooth OBDII adapter off amazon for 50 bucks and the software for Android for 5 bucks. I can monitor so many things right on my phone, clear CEL's and research them. It even calculates HP and torque. Now here is my question, is anyone using this and what did you put in your vehicle profile. My HP and torque numbers seem low, but I may need plugs and coils so it could be accurate. I am only getting about 162hp per torque which seems low when its clocking 6.6 0-60 times with my non pro shifting.

Sorry I searched for torque and came up with torque settings for bolts etc. Didn't find the Android stuff, but I'm also using my phone and not a pc to view the forum

Thanks so much! What are your vehicle settings and what type of HP and torque numbers are you getting?

HP and torque are pretty useless on any OBDII device, the only way to get that info is on a dyno. Writing 250 torque and 250 HP on a sticky note and gluing it to your dashboard would be just as useful. Put in the PID's for cat temp, afr's, etc.. those are actually useful.
