Question Can dynos measure acceleration?

Are there any dynos that can display acceleration vs. time graph? It would be cool to know how hard the evo pulls through each gear

I guess it shouldn't be too hard. You could figure it out yourself with just a graph of velocity vs time.
a = (v2 - v1) / t

v2=final speed; v1=initial speed; t=time;a=acceleration(Force)

Tswift's Auterra program for PDAs will do an acceleration graph for you. Plus it will do the OBDII logging and trouble code reading AND will give you accurate dyno results.
Give it a look. the program and PDA to OBDII cable costs just a little more than 3 hours on most "rolling roads"
