But how can i figure out the weight of my car?
I know my weight, but I've got my trunk half gutted, with dynomat, and a sub, and different wheels, etc.

Doesn't have to be exact, just a base estimate. I think stock they weigh 3050, so add some for you + what ever else you may have

You don't let the car shift when you're doing a dyno pull, why would you let it shift for the app on the ipod? Put it in 3rd, and stomp it around 3500rpm.
