How accurate are these things?

I wanted to see if there was away to roughly track my 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile without a Diablo trinity. I purchased a Bluetooth obd2 scanner and downloaded the torque pro app ( does a lot of neat little stuff) but im not sure how accurate it is. I was really disappointed in my 0 to 60 it doesn't seem right the 1/4 mile seems like it might be close but i just wondered if you guys have any experience with thede and how accurate they are.

That cannot be accurate. 0-60 does not chive with your 1/4 mile. FYI my 4.7 did 8.20 0-60 and 16.7 1/4

Yeah even going back and watching my old videos i count out a 0 to 60 much faster than this i guess i don't see why its so off i dont believe it uses gps to get 0 to 60 i would assume it uses the speed sensors

I love the TQ app, but the 0-60 I dont think is very accurate. I've never used it for 0-60 or 1/4 time but that 0-60 doesn't really match the 1/4 time, that's pretty quick.

Thank you, i was hopping it would be lower lol but its a starting point is there anything you know of that will measure 0 to 60 a little more accurate i know nothings perfect just been curious

Everything else that app does is awesome though.
I'm still trying to get the developer to get the PIDs for ST knock and LT knock.

If u had your catch can installed properly u will never have engine knock. Sorry couldnt help it. But i believe my intune will show that if you tell it to when data logging im supprised the torque app doesnt do that already it does a thousand other things

Yeah, the itune does show and data log it. I have one as well, it just seems out dated compared to the the TQ app.
