Get your own Dyno here. Set it up in your front yard and get your mates to pay you to test their car power !

Is that one of those special English dynos? You know the ones, 90bhp at the crank from a 998 single carb? I think I'd rather get this iPhone app for NZ$17.00

If that was in WA it'd have my name on it already.
Ideal for setting mixtures/timing on minis & my race car.

Yeah, if only it detected engine RPM somehow...it would be pretty useful.

You'd have to think that'd be possible using the mic.....

I think so. Instead of a audio transducer you could hook up an electrical transducer to the ignition cct....or even to the 12 volts supply like the Gtech units use. The Gtechs aren't perfect however, they have problems when using alternator ripple to calculate rpm.
