iPhone performance meter

I just saw that there was a performance meter for the iPhone. Check it out!

I just downloaded this and haven't tried it yet. I'll test it later and tell you how I like it!

Someone tested this on one of the other forums I visit. It seems to be pretty 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 Bandi always with in a few tenths so here's one example.
1/4mile 16.963@81.41mph
142 Hp on Tobi's dyno

I tried this yesterday and it worked well for one run after calibrating it and everything. then now when i try it, I press start run, then the circle on the test screen turns yellow and says "calibrating please wait" and then all of a sudden randomly starts timing, so I cannot tell exactly when to start accellerating.

Is anyone else having this problem? What did you do to get it to work?

Thanks

Dynolicious vs. V-Box and Dynojet

Check out the link, Ithink for the price you can't go wrong, if your **** about your results and it has to be accurate, spend the five benjamins, if not get the Dynolicious for the iPhone.
