[Shotimes] RE: VAK Group Buy

[Donald Mallinson]

Any Dyno jet would be a lot more dependable than a G-tech. 
You can do full gear runs and measure 1/4 mile performance 
for instance, from a stop.

A Dynojet can see as little as 1/2 hp difference easily and 
through the full rpm range, not just peak power.
