From what I've heard/read, they are pretty darn accurate. This may or may not be good enough for your situation. If you are wanting to hold bragging rights for a 500RWHP car, you couldnt call it just from your g-tech. Now, if you want to know a pretty close HP number, and some decent quarter-mile times, Id say go for it. Just dont expect anyone to care if you come up talking about your high hp/tq that you got from your g-tech.

Ive got one on my to-do list!

I have one. Haven't taken it to the strip with me yet. I don't really trust it much beyond 1/4 mile, though- Mine said I hit 150 when I only hit 6K in Drive (130 MPH). It is the GTech Pro, version 3.0 software. It is kinda neat to download it to a PC and compare different runs. I think the roads I use affect it though, the 150 reading came on a road that has a weird hump right after the 1/4 mile mark. Not that I drive that fast on public roads
