funkdaddysmack is on a distinguished road

Get a G-tech. They're cheaper and probably just as (if not more) accurate. I don't see how just tapping into the ECU would give you HP numbers, I think the Gtech uses accelerometers or something to judge that stuff. Meh, oh well.

If you think that is accurate then okay! hehe.

I also used the dyno function on it and it said i had 142 hp.....my car dynoe'd at 109.1 last time i went (and the mods didn't really change between the runs).

Sport Compact Car is going to do a review on the newly redesigned version of it. If they say its accurate, then i'll beleive them but I won't listen to somone online (including gtech's site) about how great and accurate it is based on my experiences with it.

I was comparing it's accuracy to the product pr5owner linked, not to an actual dyno
