[MR2] Dyno testing

[waynearndt]

How does it know when you've gone 60 ft, or 100 ft? Or your speed? And
differentiate between horsepower & torque? Seems like it would need some type
of data input.

beingfairly accurate (at least compared to my estimations). Your
commentmotivated me to go look at them. WOW! I like that RR model. I plan
ongetting back into autocrossing when I get back home. I'm starting toget the
itch to drive hard again and that's the safest place to do it.That, and I
wouldn't mind attending a track day somewhere. Anyway,these things have gone
seriously high-speed. Matter of fact, for whatWayne is looking for, I'd
recommend it. You can do a run, thenadjust/modify at your leisure and do
another run. I like it. I put in apurchase request with Ginger. We'll see how
that works out. :) Ofcourse, I won't use it until November-ish, but that's cool.
