^ So get your sprint buddies to drink the koolaid and all will be good.

EDIT:

Back on topic, this app is just screaming for the ability to email results.

Maybe. Definitely one I’d have more than one reason not to open the door for. 😉

i’d like to see an app connect right to the OBDII port. Maybe HPTuners should make an app. Would be pretty cool to have it all the info right in front of you.

nice, tried it this morning. Didn’t get a chance to use the 1/4mile test yet since the traffic was terrible, but managed to hit 0.88g’s on the skidpad meter coming off 290 ramp onto NFB. Also hit 0.69 for acceleration (rolling start) and 0.78 for braking.

this is a cool little gadget… wish there was more open area to play around with it, without worrying about cops or traffic

I hit 2.04g’s on Geoff’s Iphone last night. (by swinging around in the bar)

Why do I have the feeling that this app is going to cause alot of accidents with stupid people?

My plug-in for AutoEnginuity is sooo large.

- Bump \*

They released an update that supports graphing over the winter but I forgot about it until Saturday. Couldn’t do a full 1/4 mile run where I was, but will probably get some time to play this weekend.

Very light launch, no spin, just slipped the clutch then rolled on it.

60’ 2.47 sec @ 29.6 mph  
330’ 6.03 @ 65.1  
1/8 8.96 @ 84.5

.66G’s max acceleration  
357 peak HP

0-30 2.39 sec  
0-60 5.23 sec  
0-80 8.03 sec

I shut down at about 85.

I need to update mine and start trying some runs. I love this app.

EDIT - what drivetrain loss % are you using?

I’ve been using 0% since that should reflect the horsepower to your wheels.

20%. I got some wacky results in version 1.0 when I put in 0%, so I went back to 20%.
