Default Can we measure 0-60 MPH with HPTuner ??

Maybe by logging TPS, MPH & some time/timer function ?

Should be a good way to measure 0-60 MPH

yah im sure it would be semi accurate...tps mph and use the graph as it has a timeline...you can even set pixels per frame so you can be more exact in the amount of time...it should take a good amount of info for those 3 things if thats all your logging so it should be decent in accuracy.

Sure, if you export the data to a CSV file one of the colums is a time stamp placed on the data by your laptop clock. Just compare the times and you can get a lot of things. If you want to get real fancy you can compare the time it takes to accelerate over smaller speed changes like 30-40mph and dial in your timing in that area to get the lowest acceleration time, which should give you the largest RW torque. None of this works if you spin the wheels. If all you want is 0-60 I would only log a few PID's so you can get more data points per second.

It should be just as accurate as most other means, as long as your are not burning those tires at 60 mph.
