Im using "Nitrod", plugs right into the OBD port and measures lots of parameters like: fuel trims, maf readings, timing, fault codes and clears them too if needed, temps intake and engine, map sensor, g forces, 0-60, 1/4mi, 1/8 mi,, i cant remember what else it reads
very useful device I must say

Im not sure that my run is that great, a stock E55 should be doing 13.2 in 1/4mi , looks like I'm Lagging behind a little.

02 E55; 99 CLK430 (Sold)

My two timed runs with my dynolicious app produced 13.43 and 13.52 seconds (if I remember right) so anyway, that's about in line with my car too.

AMGalex -What's good?

Nice run.. I'm digging the Face Unit? Brand? I still need to hook my JL Audio 500/1 and 2 12' Kickers...Sitting in my trunk for over a year now

I'm planning on taking a video this weekend

I think we all should and post and compare runs

The unit is a cheaper VR3, has GPS, DVD player, MP3 Player, has an SD card slot which I love beats a cd or dvd disk. SOund quality could bea better but Im still running with my factory amp and speakers, I did add another amp to run an 8" sub that is mounted underneath the rear deck where factory speakers are, this wave i get a nice bass boost and no lost space in the trunk...

I think its a great idea to all make videos of the runs and post them up!,,,
do it............
