We All Know About G-tech But Has Anyone Used Dynolicious Iphone App ?

[maddowse]

i don't know if this is the right area to put this in but I'm just wondering if anyone has tryed it and if so how close to accurate is it ??

i get that it used the phone accelerometer (which is pretty much that the g-tech is (accelerometers) ) but how accurate can an iphone app actually be ??

also iv tryed a g-tech before but never managed to get a result any were near what the dyno says ?

at the end of the quarter mile run do you have to break for it to know its a quarter mile or does it already know ?

also to get the right reading do you have to have the perfect launch ?? for the life of me i cant i ether spin the wheel through first and second ot just bog out (never had much experience drag racing )

or is the g-tech just another useless item that some one has fabricated to make money off us nieve people ?

i've got dyno licious but cant really comment as i havent done any proper runs yet. usually the phone sits in the drink holder which isnt very accurate

i've tried a few dyno apps on my phone. so far i've managed a best of about 1450hp whilst sitting at my chair at work.

lol yeah I'm shore if you turn a g-tech upside down you would get the same sort of reading I'm thinking about people that have put it to the real test ??

PS. i drive machinery at work and supposedly the straddles there with there diesel motors get kW lol (they do a top speed of 20 k's)

put its hard to get a reading when the straddles is constantly rocking back and forward and bouncing around .

want a high kw reading? just put the weight of the car up. dynolicious cant do laptimes. it stops timing after 1/4mile or when you brake whichever comes first.

edit: goddamn internets screwing with my spelling

Dynolicious is mad, in my experience its been very accurate, I did my tests on the Hume hwy coming out of the truck rest stops on the side of the road, as long as the road is flat with no hills its a great tool for those 0-100 times and even quarter mile times if you take it to the track. If you have a look on Youtube theres a review where they compare the app with a real dyno and its within 5hp for memory and then they tested it against a 1/4 mile timer at the track and it was exactly the same, it totally kicked the G-techs ass.
