My New Gadget!!

For $110 I got me a bluetooth OBDII (works with the Torque App on any Android devices) This is just a few of the sensors it can read.

One on the left, running 75. The other, curb idle speed (N).

Looking at the coolant temp threw me off for a second

! And with the app on your phone it should measure 0-60 and such.

All vehicles that have the OBDII connection. Doesn't add any HP, but it can tell you 1/8 to 1/2 mile times, 0-40 to 0-100 times. Can read out hp at the wheels and torque, but it won't read out on my truck.
