I wouldn't call it a smoking gun, but certainly adds some data points to the fold.

I plan to test some acceleration numbers tomorrow. I actually did today but accidently had the data logging off. The ironic thing was there was a cop like 500 feet away separated by a road over (where he couldn't come get me) but if he was paying attention I'm sure he noticed my launch.

I don't like to beat my drive-train up so I'll probably just get one more test in.
Man that's lucky avoiding that cop. I'll have to take a second look into that app, it sounds like a great way to keep track of mods without breaking the bank. I always thought it was just a OBD2 monitoring app. Thanks for taking the time to get some data.
