DIY Dyno kit

[Lud]

Does anyone have any experience with this product? Reading through the website it seems to make a lot of sense and sounds far less prone to error than a G-Tech other other accelerometer-type device.

I'm definitely interested. I'd like to know anyone who has used this and their thoughts. If it's as accurate as it says (compared to a chassis dyno) I'd fork over $150.

Very Interesting. I'll have to spend some time reading the details, but it sounds a lot like the dyno feature to be added soon to the G-Cube which also does a whole lot more, logging continuous G forces for acceleration, deceleration and L/R lateral, and even drawing friction circles and a track map with your speed and Gs at each point.

Do you know a website w/ more details on the g-cube device?

The G-Cube site is: http://extremegeez.com/Extreme_GEEZx.html

What the G-Cube lacks is a tachometer reading, but I guess his software could calculate that fairly accurately from gearing, tire size and speed.

I started using the G-Cube just recently if you have questions.

The power meter looks interesting as well. Anyone own it?
