Looks like a highly advanced little gadget! I noticed the new version had an RPM gauge. So you only have to put it into your cigarette lighter and it reads your engine RPM from there???? Walk us through the setup of it...

I can't figure out if nashua is being serious or sarcastic... I heard they are within 1/100th the accuracy of a real track. That is assuming you have the correct vehicle weight programmed in.

initial reports of the of the first release of the Gtech Pro Competition ( Firmware 1.0) showed a difference of 1s at the dragstrip. Now there is firmware 2.0, but no PC software yet!

well

it had my hp at around 250 to the wheels and 220 trq idk what ppl with similar mods as i do have run, but post ure dynos and we will see how accurate it is. the 60 times i thought wwere reaklly accurate at 6.0 ish. the 1/4 was around 14.4 and my best at englishtown was a 14.6. that was with a little tire spin, and yesterday when testing i got excellent traction, so mayb it is accurate

I was thinking of buying this but wasn't sure just how accurate it was. How was the installation? I know all you do is just plug it into the cig lighter and then mount the unit, however what did you do with the wire hanging down?

Any pics of it installed?

Ya, I have one too. It's pretty accurate.

I have been waiting 3 months for the PC software though. I'm kinda pissed at the company.

yea so what is the deal with that software, i havent had the time but are u saying that it cannot be dl to the computer right now????
im sure u can do it in adobe or something like that.

also one comment, the corning lights are the most useless thing ever, i think they should elimante them, bc nearly every time u turn u pull .4 G and the damn light goes off and it gets anoying, other wise no complaints. my friends goin to see how exactly accurate it is with his saleen mustang this weekend if it gets nice, then ill let u know the % it is off
