Worked for me this morning, but not an accurate reading as I got her up to speed limit then shut her down. Looks really funny on the graph...you can see me going...going...then BOOM! Drops to zero when I let off hahaha...as a result I ended up with 83HP with 15% loss and a 1/4 mile time of 20 secs hahahaha...

I used the curb weight +70 or so lbs to a nice rounded number. Need to go hit up the local disposal facility to get my weight hahaha My numbers are absolute garbage haha, but the curve looks cool. I can see when I shift I only took my car to 5.5k-6k RPM before I shifted and only had about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. 0-60 time was 14.3s hahahahah! I started to let up after I hit 80-90km/h before hitting 100km/h, so it should be much faster than what I got.

I tested it at the track last night

dynolicious - 19.23

track - 17.6

the g-meter seems to be pretty acurate, the numbers are diffinetly realistic

That is about 1.5s out, I thought any more than 0.5s was generally frowned upon?

my stock fit ran that time at our track at 3000 meters of altitude lol

I'm pretty sure even at our altitude my stock fit would be around 82-85whp so this is quite a bit off. Not quite like a G-Tech.

Do you just hold it in your hand or the iphone gets mounted somewhere?

You are supposed to have it mounted. cause if it is in a hand, then your hand will be sort of a shock absorber for the accelerometer, and then the results will be off.

I didnt get this. But i downloaded pocketdyno for my 2G iphone, it is a free demo.

I dont drag but I do autox and some road races. But havent road raced in the fit yet.

Anyway i hope there will be an app that can map out your location. kinda like Chasecam and then over lay that ontop of the course map. It is possible but only with 3G cause of the GPS support.

Just found this in the apps store, it seems the reviews have gotten better since last October. Anyone upgraded and had better luck with it?
