Can anyone recommend a device like the G-tech that does 0-60, 1/4 mile times and rougly guesses bhp? Are they generally accurate? How are they installed?

I'm in the UK, and all I've found so far is a g-tech pro for £149... any good?

Cheers,

Dom

dom, what are you doing out of the ICE forum?

I have a G-Tech Pro and it is the best version; here in the US they are about $190; it comes with a cigarette ligher adapter. AC adapter, pc serial cable and suction cup mount (to the windshield). It is very compact and cool. check it out at www.gtechpro.com

it will display:
time from 0-60mph; and 60-0;
1/8 mile time and mph,
1/4 mile time and mph,
a graph of rpm vs time, indicating your shifts;
a graph of hp and torque vs rpm for the 1/4 mile run you just did;
real time rpm and g-force (xy and z(direction of gravity));
it will also flash bright led's when your reach your preset shift point rpm.

you have to enter the car weight and shift point rpm.

you hook it up to the cigarette lighter and that is it! you have to do a simple one-time calibration so it can adjust rpm and g readings to your car.

the con rignt now is that it needs a sofware update, supposedly due out via internet this month to correct a few bugs.

There's a new kid on the block:

Tazzo

Don't have any experience with either one, but noticed that Tazzo started advertising on one of the Camaro boards at the beginning of the year.

There's also the Race Technology meters. That's the one I ended up with. (AP-22)

They all have their pros and cons. Price, features, or appearance. Pick any two!
