GTech Pro performance meter

do these things work?

http://www.gtechpro.com/prod.html

i know they aren't 100% accurate, not even 90% but do these things get in the area? I kinda want one of these for fun. Just to run around pluging it into all my friend's cars and seeing what it states about it. Anyone have one? or used one?

Cool

They're very good on acceleration/deceleration and G-force reading.
They can be from damn acurate, to wildly innacurate for the HP/TQ dyno.
It's as accurate as you follow the instructions and set it up.


Basically, for the dyno portion it's as acurate as anything else. There is just 0 tolerance for user error.

you have to be on kinda flat ground, if your not it gives you more (a lot more) hp then you have, we did a pull on my brothers N/a 2.2L honda accord from flat ground to up hill and going up the hill it sead he had somthing like 350+hp but if you do it right it will be vary dead on

Its accurate as long as you got real weight of your car and run it on a flat ground. Do two runs on both directions and average the result. Also make sure there is no bump and pot holes. You hit them right and you'll get 600HP.

It won't give excet result as a dyno. You can use it to compare mods added as long as you test it under same condition. You can get accurate HP only if you get the weight right.
