Default DynoStorm. Check this out

So i have a blackberry storm which is like the iphone with the accelormeter where the screen flips and it can calc movements from shaking it to shake dice etc.. Well i was browsing though some new apps and i found one called dynostorm.. Its your own personal dyno on your phone. It calc results by using the accelormeter to calc g forces and it determines all different things like 0-60, 1/4 mile, HP, accel g forces, 60' etc... I found it hard to believe that your phone could do that but i was reading reviews and ppl claimed it work, so i downloaded it..

I did one test run with the phone is here is what it said. Tell me if it sounds correct to you.. I think it was damn close.

Before you think, the road i was testing on has a slight s-turn and its not perfectly level.. I also have intake and cat back exhaust..

0-60mph = 5.9 secs
60' = 2.36 secs
1/8 mi = 9.24 secs
1/4 mi = 14.12 secs
Max Acc G's = 0.51
Crank Power = 309HP
Wheel = 251HP

If its close which i think it is, this damn app is amazing.. I told my buddies and they all had me try it in there car and it was right on with them too

I have read that some of these programs have proven some to be within 10% of actual numbers.

Did you have someone holding the phone or do you have a mount or something?
