looks interesting, might be a bit late but I've been using a software called OakGPS... it's real simple to use and set up, u get the output in both .txt and excel format so u can make some real nice looking graphs:

and now that U already have the speed, dist and time, wouldnt it be possible to get an aprox BHP by putting in the accurate weight of the car w/driver?

this is exactly how I said it could be done with GPS ages ago... Well done for making it work!

For BHP air resistance/drag is also needed

And for accuracy you need to know the air pressure too.

lets stick to timing first

He did say approx! But then again, wouldn't it be easier to guess the approx bhp?

Started off with standard 200bhp car.....bigger turbo's = 50bhp + remapped ECU =20bhp = 270bhp??

here I go again, that OakGPS I tipped about have some BHP calculations in the Excel part... don't remember right now if it had Torque to...
