Dynolicious
Anyone here know or heard of Dynolicious? I have it on my iPhone for a while now and tried it a couple of times. I just stumbled to it while checking some not so used apps and thought I'd look on the net about its accuracy. Here is a couple of links I found.

BTW, the run I've done on my DTX showed 19hp. I think tomorrow I'll go out and play with it some. If you use it, it would be cool to have some numbers posted.

There are 2 equivalent apps for the phones on Android , one is ADyno and the other is Dynomaster . The latter one is 5 $ . The formula for calculating power is RPM multiplied Torque over 5252 if you measure torque in ft·lbs or 9549 if you measure in N·m . Using a presumably accurate accelerometer in the phone , and having the correct weight entered in the setup may lead to pretty close results . Of course if the axis of the phone and the vehicle don't coincide you may calibrate all you want the results will be sqewed . There are other apps that go a little further , they have a OBD II interface , so you can use them to extract trouble codes or visualise engine data on your presumably modern OBD II equipped car .

IF I am reading it right, it also uses acceleration time like 0 to 60 to figure horse power. Speed and acceleration are calculated from the gps along with the phone.
I will keep looking.
I am finally figuring out the phone. Its really just a small computer.

Yeah , speed info is GPS , so it's as acurate as it get's .
Smart phones are NICE :
I really like my Desire and my X10 mini pro , browsing , email , chat , FM and internet radio , internet tv , youtube , GPS , all kind of documents and on and on and on...
