You guys are in for a treat. This is a product I've been using for years and impressing many people with. I don't know what I would have done without this thing. I liked it so much I decided to start selling it to spread the love.
They are available for Palm OS and Windows.

This model works on all OBD II vehicles INCLUDING CAN Bus vehicles.
Dyno-Scan for Palm is two products in one! First, it's a full-featured On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) scan tool capable of diagnosing a wide range of vehicle problems. Second, the dyno package measures engine horsepower and torque, acceleration times, and even instantaneous and trip fuel mileage. Never before has a scanner provided such power and unique features!
Read and clear the dashboard Check Engine light. Access to thousands of generic and enhanced diagnostic trouble code definitions displayed directly on screen.
The dynamometer measures horsepower/torque and acceleration times. Results are graphically displayed with zoom and scroll.
The data logger records live sensor data from the vehicle diagnostic port. Recorded data may be viewed and played back directly on the Palm.
Key product features:
* All 1996 and newer vehicle supported
* Powerful OBD II diagnostic scan tool features
* Turn off the Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light
* Thousands of diagnostic trouble code definitions
* Measure vehicle horsepower and acceleration
* Monitor data with line graphs, bar graphs, and meters
* Record and playback live sensor data streams
* Free software updates
* 1-year warranty
Yes, you read that correctly. Not only can you check and clear your check engine lights (CELs) and monitor and graph what your sensors are doing (which is great for tuning and diagnostics) but you can run the dyno program on the car.
Now don't get me wrong, I still prefer a chassis dyno to this. However, in my experience, this tool has proven to be remarkably close to the output of a Dynojet dyno, and more importantly, it's consistent. It's nice to have this tool on hand for before and after mods to see what was gained or lost.
To get the dyno to work, you have to save a configuration for each vehicle you dyno. You'll need to enter information such as vehicle weight (with you in it), gear ratio, tire size, coefficient of drag, etc. You'll then do a pull in a gear where you have full traction, and go all the way to redline. The program will use the information you give it along with the acceleration it measured (since it knows your speed and your RPM) and ultimately gives you a dyno graph. Very impressive stuff indeed.
Anyway, since the Evo X is on the CAN bus, you'll be wanting the CAN bus model.
