Take it with you for a jog. You'll have 300HP

I'm interested to see someone take theirs to a track to see a actual comparison of the thing.

I have Dynolicious and last time I went to the track I couldn't get it to work right (I have the 3G 16GB iPhone). The problem is that it always starts before I take off. When I inch up to the staging lights it always starts early. Any ideas on how to change the sensitivity of it?

Don't worry about your reaction time at the tree and just turn on the ipod app. after you have staged. Then start your 1/4 once the ipod is ready to go. Your reaction time will be awful but you will still have a comparison for ET/mph

Eh, we all know even if it works for you, you'll still say it doesn't just to be right. HAHA! just joking.....

there are multiple videos of people taking it to the track

here is one comparing the ipod touch dynolicious to the GTECH 1/4 measuring device and comparing it to the actual track run.

Not the touch, but I Used the G-Tech and was actually impressed. It said I dynoed at 269 hp. I took my car to the dyno a month later and made 271rwhp. I went to the 1/8rh mile and tested it out as well. With the Vortech I got to 60 in 4.07 with a 2.09 60ft and an 1/8th time of 8.42@71(had a problem w/the car and let off of the gas at 70). The actual results said 8.41@70.5 with a 2.05. My horsepower was 345. It's not completely accurate, but it's a nice measuring stick.
