get faster,
if you dont have a drag strip but you have long, flat, strait roads, you can use something like a PDA/Laptop dyno & accemeter to try and measure performance.
AND EVERYONE DONT FLAME, I use a real dyno to measure my performance.
I just suggested it cuz he said he has no access to a dyno and it sounds like he doesn't have access to a drag strip either. I believe, even though a PDA/Laptop dyno is not a real dyno, it is a form of measurement. I mean all the real dynos take different measurements compared to another dyno, so a PDA/Laptop dyno is just another type of dyno that could be used to measure performance. Just make sure to use the same flat road, same weather conditions, same curb weight & other car data the program may ask for.
also, shouldn't he get a wideband to make sure his AFR are good, or does he have one; is it one of his "important meters".
