Thinking of getting one of these systems as they seem to be getting more and more advanced...
0 - 60, 0 - 100, 100 - 0, 1/4 mile, torque and horsepower, sequential shift light and a few others too.
anyone got one or tryed one, or want to sell me one

those are the ones you want, there used proffesionally by all tha manufacturers and big teams, bit more expensive but just as accurate as timing gear apparently

gtech pro is ok for 0-60 and fairly accurate for 1/4 but you need a dead straight flat road
bhp from it will be pointlessly innaccurate

Accuracy Information Clicky
When compared to an NHRA approved track your time will depend whether you stage "shallow" or "deep." G-TECH/Pro has a default 12" rollout which is equivalent to "Shallow staging."
This level of accuracy is achieved thanks to 10 years of experience and research resulting in many technological achievements including a precision three-axis accelerometer system with full temperature compensation.
We are particularly proud of our ability to gather RPM data right through the cigarette lighter which allows us to have Torque measurements along with Sequential Shift lights and RPM replays. We are the first in the world to do this.

the bhp will not be accurate i can tell you that now
iv owned one and found the claimed accuracy to be dubious.
i did find it gave accurate 0-60 results and 1/4 miles though

needless to say i was pretty pleased with myself
