Ok, talked my brother into an early birthday present so he got the program for me. LOL

Just went out and did a few runs in my bros 1997 Mazda Protege... now I noticed something interesting...My brothers car can NOT get to 60 mph in a 1/4mile so there is no 0-60 time. LOL

BUT here is what I got. This is the best run:

Accel
0-10mph 2.04 sec
0-20mph 4.18 sec
0-30mph 6.61 sec
0-40mph 10.93 sec
0-50mph 17.05 sec

Elapsed Time
60' 3.94@17.4mph
330' 9.97@38.8mph
1/8mi 15.15@54.4mph
1000' 19.73@51.5mph
1/4mi 23.70@55.7mph

Peak WHP - 48 His normal CHP is only 92 btw. But this is WAY the frick off I think... Thats almost a 50% drive train loss! But his car is pretty freaking slow so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot less the 92CHP.

LOL Interesting... Very interesting... I think the reason some of the numbers don't match up well is because of how hard and I mean hard my brothers car shifts when you are WOT. But I will see how it does on my S4 tomorrow.

^I can't believe that post went through!!!

Josh

 

lol. thanks for the update. seems a bit off. but, who knows? many thanks to your brother and happy early bday!

 

LOL, yeah... It wouldn't calibrate correctly so i am guessing thats part of it... I also could not find the drive train loss so that will make it off as well.

Josh

 

That is interesting, I hope it's as accurate as they state.

 

It works... I just need to get it calibrated better. I will be trying it out on my S4 today along with a buddies WRX.

anybody else give it a try?
