I second that "thumbs up" for the g-tech.
It's a little fiddly to use, but once you get the hang
of it, it can be quite precise.
I can't say if it's measurements are accurate, but they
are quite repeatable. The horsepower measurement from
run to run is pretty much the same, and the 0-60 measurement
seems just right.
Very useful for before and after tests. Sadly, placebo
comes into play especially when that "performance mod"
also makes the car SOUND faster or louder.
The g-tech will tell you if you really are better
off or not.
