iPod Dyno application

I've just installed this and will be taking the mighty Cherokee for a spin to see if it yields reasonable numbers. It seems reminiscent of the Vericom VC2000 that we used to mess with on backroads in my high school days, but without buying a $400 box that has a limited range of uses.

I had to drive a few miles to find a suitably remote spot to unleash the full fury of the mighty Cherokee. It would seem that results have been skewed slightly by wiggling action of the cup holder ashtray (from the gut-wrenching launch forces encountered upon side-stepping the brake pedal at 2200 RPM) that my iPod was resting on during this highly scientific test session. A sturdier mount will be crafted for future sessions. I have an iPod mount that sits snugly in a cup holder around here somewhere.

The numbers are within the realm of reasonable for a 2000 Cherokee Sport with 3.73 gears, 30x9.50 tires and a bone-stock 186,000 mile powertrain.

E.T. - 18.23
MPH - 86.0

It calculates horsepower at 260, but I figure this to be a combination of the floppy ashtray and my somewhat over-estimating the weight at 3700. All in all, it's an amusing free distraction if you already have the hardware.

You might even say blistering speed LOL.

I'll have to try this out, as I have an iPod touch.

Crap can't get in the Canada Itunes store
