dynomaster/trackmaster

Maybe it's already been noticed by the buggy community, but I found a nice tool for diagnostics and tuning. If you have an android phone, they have gps and accellerometers built in. Dynomaster will map you trip giving various speed splits, and even calculate HP if you put in some parameters of your ride. $4 in the android market. You can also share the stats, so maybe we can compare some real data.
Trackmaster is similar from the same company, but does a few different fuctions. I haven't installed it.

That's pretty neat. Have you tried the HP calculator yet with it?

[jimd]

so far, only on my golf cart. 1/2 hp!

[BuggyMaster]

seems the calculations may be off a bit?

I;m gonna need a LONG DOWNHILL run to get that 0-60 reading.

Even if the numbers are off a bit, it gives me a baseline to compare mods to. If the cart "feels" slow, now I can put some sort of number to it and see where it's happening at. The mapping function is kinda cool too.
