They are not accurate at all. They are estimates based on some sensors and some human inputs.
The only way you're going to get accurate HP and TQ readings is with an accelerometer based tool, or a dyno.

they are based on the change in vehicle speed with respect to time, and calculated using the vehicle weight. Since the speedo cables are a billion years old, the calculation gets pretty confused.
