Dyno testing via iPhone/iPod touch
Hey all,
I was surfing around a techie blog (crave.cnet.com), saw this article and thought you'd all like to know about it. I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know accurate it is, but it sounds pretty cool if it works!
And if you're wondering, no I don't work for them. =)
Here's the link to manufacturers site:

Here's the blurb on cnet:
Dynolicious appears to be the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The app utilizes the iPhone's built-in accelerometer to measure the performance characteristics of any vehicle it's placed into.
Simply toss your iPhone into the nearest cupholder or cradle and Dynolicious will record your quarter-mile, 0-60 time, lateral Gs, horsepower, and a host of other statistics. The developers state accuracy within a tenth of a second and 1.5 mph.
Dynolicious is available in the iTunes Store for $12.99.

hmmm is it really this accurate? "accuracy within a tenth of a second and 1.5 mph." if this is teh case we will be able to do before and after tests of the perfomance parts in real life extremely easily now.This is a godsend. Even if not completely accurate this is gonna be a pretty cool App

Someone tried this on one of the other forums I visit. It seems to be fairly accurate. Here is what he got.
i went out and did 3 runs...
run 1 - 17.00@84.2mph - 130hp
run 2 - 16.74@85.9mph - 132hp
run 3 - 17.21@85.4mph - 125hp
Real numbers...I run fairly constant at Bandimere always with in a few tenths so here's one example.
1/4mile 16.963@81.41mph
142 Hp on Tobi's dyno
run 1 - 17.00@84.2mph - 130hp
