does uprev detect or trouble shoot?

heey all i have a question with regards to uprev and need you guys to chime in. As some of you read my post about getting low numbers with my mods, even though i got a higher number on another dyno, i was still not satisfied as it didnt hit the 290's hp that i had in mind. so my friend and i were discussing what the possible problem could be, because he as well has a 370z AT with just a mid pipe and exghust, and he got 276 hp on the same dyno that gave me the low reading, so thats what started the conversation of why i got lower numbers on that dyno even though i have full boltons. So on of our guess was that there might be some leak somewhere, or the something wrong with the MAF sensors, or any other problem. So my question is, can uprev be used to dedect if there is any irregularity in the car example leak somewhere, MAF sensor not reading correctly etc? can a tuner see if there is a problem and perhaps trouble shoot it if he sees there is something irregular?

UpRev Cipher can be used for datalogging and diagnostics, and is included with Osiris.

It's not like it's going to actually do any troubleshooting for you, but you can log various sensors to get an idea of what's going on. Either have your tuner take a look at the logs, or be prepared to do a lot of reading on tuning and logging. I'd suggest a leak down test as well.

Cipher should be able to read engine codes when you get a check engine light - It shows you the code, and you get the idea. Actually measuring a sensors tollerance; it cannot - That is the job of the ECU.

The only way would to do a lot of logging while you are driving it. What kind of Dyno did you tune on? Where are you located? Up Rev can let you look at all your sensors.
