I downloaded this app the other day for my iphone and WOW. I saw very few references to it upon a search of the 997 forum and anyone who has this app knows it is more than worthy of having it's own topic and community all on it's own. I figured I'd start this off as I had a few questions for other users as I am setting it up for run on my newly modded 997. I love the detailed data and graphics it outputs as well as the ability to log your detailed performance as you add mods. It has been receiving many 3rd party reviews claiming how unbelievably accurate the app is especially on the iphone. Anyone not familiar with this app here is the link www.dynolicious.com
I will start with the questions bellow:

1) What should be entered as the 997 TT 6 speed w PCCBs for curb weight? (not counting driver weight of course)

2) I was curious what people were entering for drive train loss %

3) Looking forward to members posting their results. I will post mine as soon as my car comes back from having the iphone mount affixed.

 

Just downloaded. Thanks for the tip
At some point in the future (when my car eventually gets here ) I'll give feedback on how it compares with Pbox.

 

np. I'm looking forward to posted results. Should have mine by Monday.

 

I would be interested too on the accuracy. This weekend I had a kid on my street show me this app and decided to give it a try. Need to learn how to launch this thing. Here are the results:

FYI, I put 3600 in for curb weight including driver and a 18% loss ratio (guessing) Car is a stock Tip.

what are you guys doing with your iphones while doing this? Does it need some sort of vertical stable mount?

 

Yes.

I will try to do some comparative testing this weekend between what the app does and VBox.

Will post results as soon as I get the opportunity.

 

I had my passenger hold the iphone on the door armrest. He calibrated the iphone to zero in that position.

What are the thoughts on the times (assuming they are accurate with this program)? Healthy? I didnt brake load the car at the start just punched it. I got another time at 3.51 0-60 with holding the brake and gas then launching.

 

Do you have a 6spd or tippy?

 

I believe its a tip from his other post.

 

Correct! Its a tip.

 

I had an issue because when my iphone mount finally arrived I realized I was getting the iphone 4 so have been waiting all this time for the new cradle. I just came in so I will have it installed next week. Love the new iphone as well.

 

Really interested in how the mount came out. I just purchased Navigon to use as navigation on my iPhone and want to mount it.

Thanks!
Don

 

Bringing an old thread back to life...anybody have any thoughts on the dynolicious app?

 

I dont have enough hands! Seriously, they should have the start, voice activated.
