I do somewhat agree with you about the hp/torque #s that are calculated from those 'joke cellphone' apps, gtech, etc....HOWEVER, those same 'joke' devices can also very accurately measure acceleration. You can take your car to 10 different 'certified' dynos and get 10 different results. And what does a dyno really tell you anyway? Let's say you put a Suburban on a dyno and get 300 hp...and then put a Camaro on a dyno and get 290 hp. Does that mean the Suburban is going to win a 1/4 mile race?
If you have the ability to measure acceleration (which by the way, there is this thing called physics, where velocity, time, distance and acceleration have a relation to each other), then it is a true apples to apples comparison and should not be considered garbage data.
