Just loaded a new application on my Ipod Touch. Here is some info i copied and pasted. Its called Dynolicious, uses the hardware built-in to your iPod-touch / phone to measure the performance characteristics of any vehicle. Dynolicious utilizes the accelerometer built in to your iPhone or iPod Touch to sense the motion of your vehicle. This data is sampled as many as one hundred times per second, developing a detailed picture of the car's acceleration. This information is then used to determine the speed of the vehicle and the distance travelled. Due to the unique hardware integrated into the iPhone, this can all be done with no setup, wires, or extra equipment!
Some of the performance metrics Dynolicious can measure:
0-60 Acceleration
60fts
1/8 Mile E/T & MPH
1/4 Mile E/T & MPH
Lateral G's
Real Wheel Horsepower
Friction Circle
Downloadable Timed Run Graphs
Downloadable Skidpad Graphs.
I did my dually tonight and put down 270 hp on a Tow Tune which sounds about right. I typed in 7800 pounds. Did a 2wd Boosted Launch, Spinning a bit too.
It also read 330', 1000, 0-60 times, 0-80 times, etc
Its crazy accurate. Watch the video below. They dynoed the car on a real dyno, and the Ipod was only 5 hp off! Then i raced it down the track and it was only off a few hundreths of a second. Trap speed is very accurate too. Check it out. I will try it on the reg cab soon. Never new about this until today. Pretty Cool. Thought i would share for those that have the ipods.
Its really amazing how it works. I know quite a few guys with cobras that race them and have dynoed them quite often. They all have said that it is amazingly accurate in both situations for what it is. When you use it in the truck you just have to be sure its somewhere where it won't move at all.
Been running the app for a while now! It's awesome!! Well worth the money! I've been glad I bought the iPhone since day 1! Cancelled my verion account and won't ever look back
Yeah it will work for any it just depends on how much other #### you want on it. I think the 8gb would be plenty. But someone like you might want the 16gb hahaoke:
I bought the 16gb one when I got mine but to be honest the 8gb would of been plenty. Ive got an 80gb ipod in the truck for music and movies and the apps are VERY small. Most about are 1 meg so you would need 1024 apps to take up even 1 gig.
In case you don't want an iphone you can get a gtech pro SS. It does HP, torque, 60ft, 1/8 & 1/4 mile, 0-60mph, 0-100-0, rpm & shiftlight, handling G's, and records up to 30 runs.
There is also a RR model that has that plus more.
