The MOST AWESOME computer program ever written for any device PERIOD!

Dynolicious - Auto Performance Meter for iPhone and iPod

I remember hearing about this when the iphone was coming out.

 

[Ghostrider02gt]

I have it, have yet to use it though

 

[JC_SapphireBlue_GT]

i have it on my ipod touch...

i used it like 3 times...

1st time was in a friends 96 GT-the results were weird
had a quarter mile time of 13.9 which seemed right...but the 60' was 3.xx seconds?:shrug: and the 0-60 time was around 8 seconds...

and the other 2 tests were wayyyyy off, gotta work out the kinks still

but if i can figure it out it would be tight

The roads have been too slick to make any real pulls with it so far...

I have it setup with the drivetrain loss at 12% and the curb weight at 3850. Does this sound correct for my car? I weigh 220...

15% is used when calculating HP loss Flywheel to Rear Wheels :read:

 

[Juruense]

I thought 15% was for auto and manual was closer to 10%?

yeah the weight is pretty close, but i put the drivetrain loss at 0% (that way it reports wheel horsepower)

15% for manual

 

[SpectorV]

15-17.5% for a T-5/T-56 transmission. Auto is far worse, around 20-22~ for the AOD-AODE/4RW70 etc

huh?

 

[Juruense]

Did a pull in the civic on the way home from work, 108hp and a 20 sec quarter mile LOL!

Hasn't this been out for months? It's such a great program, but no body gets accurate data? :shrug:

 

[kevin01cobra]

Can more people elaborate??

Garage419 did a test with the host's mini. They weighed it, dyno'd it, and calculated the drive train loss and found that it was more accurate at the track than their G-tec. My results have been accurate with it as well....as long as the numbers you're throwing into it are accurate.

I am buying this first thing in the morning. This seems like a great way to work on 0-60 especially if all the tracks around you are closed.
Cant wait to use this with my buddies grand am and integra!!

 

[99MustangGTman]

Its just as accurate as the G-Techs....:lol:

 

[LSUstang05]

If you can get it set up the correct way it is pretty accurate. The hard part is getting it to calibrate correctly and putting the phone in a good location where it wont move. In my old Mustang it was saying that I wouldn't have gone 1/4 mile when I was in the top of 4th gear (around 120ish) which is definitely the 1/4 mile mark. At the track I would trap 116-123 and run low to mid 12's on street tires. I was running mid-high 13s with the program :shrug:

 

[Juruense]

Well it may not be 100% accurate but it sure is fun!

somekind of accelerometer?

I have a Beltronics
