G-tech VS Dynolicious VS Track RESULTS!!!

Well I'm glad I only paid $12 for this program.
First off, the accelerometer or whatever is built into the iPod is VERY sensitive to temperature changes. If I calibrated it inside the car where it was warmer and then took it outside where it was cold, it was off by as much as 50%. So....I had to recalibrate it before every run to make sure it was right.
I put in the weight for my car that I got from the ls1gto forum. Several people have agreed that 3750 is about the right weight for the car, so I added 190 lbs for me and got 3940.
My first run at this weight compared as follows:
Parameter--------Slip---------Dynolicious
60'--------------2.322--------2.63
330'------------6.134---------6.45
1/8 mi----------9.212---------9.63
1/8 mph--------80.421--------79.0
1000'-----------11.738--------12.38
1/4 mi----------14.012--------14.73
1/4 mph--------102.437-------97.1
Based on that info, plus the 14.9 @ 97 that it gave me on the street, I decided to add a little bit of weight in the setup to see if I could get the results to be more accurate. I changed the weight to 4200.
Run 2 must have had some weird bump or acceleration registered.
Parameter--------Slip---------Dynolicious
60'--------------2.325--------2.54
330'------------6.065---------6.00
1/8 mi----------9.102---------8.20
1/8 mph--------81.656--------119.3
1000'-----------11.603--------9.84
1/4 mi----------13.854--------11.13
1/4 mph--------103.492-------177.4
It also managed to register 2020hp for some reason
Run 3 was done at the same 4200 weight
Parameter--------Slip---------Dynolicious
60'--------------2.213--------2.51
330'------------5.961---------6.35
1/8 mi----------9.003---------9.80
1/8 mph--------81.448--------69.9
1000'-----------11.516--------12.93
1/4 mi----------13.780--------15.70
1/4 mph--------103.135-------78.3
I was not able to get anything close to accurate out of this program.
