its safer to run rich than lean. auto manufacturers tune the car to run richer than needed on a stock tune to err on the safe side.
honestly, I would never have used that thing for a real 1/4mile test/recording device. this weekend you need to drive to the track, let the car cool down for a little while you grab lunch, and then go take it down the quarter mile (maybe even try it with the "other" wheels you have too.  ) |
I don't use the app for 'real' recording as far as factual data. I use it for fun.
I have no doubt I will eventually go to the track. I just don't have the free time. I'll make time but I won't be real soon.
I hope you're righ about the rest. I'm coming up on 5k miles now. I don't know what it's running now but seems to maybe be loosening up. Just sucks that I would have to do it this way.

I hope you're not talking about me. Go back and look at my posts. Never ONCE did I say I was using this app as a gauge. I post them for fun and I use it alot to get a possible consistancy comparison. I do it for my own use. The slow times I use for evedence of my car having a problem are video and stopwatch. Of whitch I have also posted here. Say what you want, but you can get an accurate time with a video and an average of timing it with a timing device within at least two tenths. Certainly close enough to know your car is 2+ seconds slow. Hell, the iPhone shows my car as faster than the vids.
I've spent time and money on a dyno and am trying to get access to the only other one in the area that I could use. As soon as they let me I'll have them do it. Not sure what good it will do. Some of you guys on here don't like what it shows and discredit it because it's not what you want to see. I don't get it.
So ya. I'll post as many iPhone runs as I want. Until tran or the mods tell me to stop, I guess you'll have to look at them because apparently you can't help it.
I gave my dealer the dyno sheets the vid. Stuff and asked them to open a TAC. I said NOTHING about the iPhone times.

It's possible. I'm waiting for the other dyno guy to let me come in. (yes, apparently he's that busy) But what's the point? If you guys won't accept it, why would GM
