G Tech Pro

Is the G Tech Pro a good product? How accurate is it? Is it worth the money?

Also what about this product: Racing Technologies AP-22. It does basically the same thing but has more functionality and also lets you up load data to a computer.

I guess you haven't seen the newest pro competition version
I think for 299 you can get the G-Tech ProComp with the computer interface software kit. I think it's 250 for just the Procomp.
Sorry I don't have one yet.

i really dont see how any of these work good..i have a gtech and it sucks a$$..these things are supposed to sit level when they are reading...but when you take off...its no longer level. same thing when you shift. sometimes my gtech is accurate..sometimes its not....maybe i just have a crackhead gtech! if i get anything else, im gonna make sure its something you have to hard wire to your car.

Ok, the included mounting hardware for the basic g-tech pro is honestly pretty crappy. It takes quite a bit of adjusting to get it set up properly. Over time now I've gotten pretty good at it. Other then the mounting problems, the unit itself works very good. I've been thinking about making a hard mount for it that bolt along the underside of the dashpad just off to the side of my steering wheel, but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Now I think I'll wait till I can buy this new one though. Then I can just mount it once and not have to turn things for lateral g measurements.

Just one question though... "four accelerometers for complete pitch and yaw correction" Does this mean the unit doesn't have to be completely horizontal for accurate measurements? I think if done right, this could allow for acceptable orientation variations and still achieve accurate results. Basically you just plug it in, calibrate it. From a standstill it should be able to determine it's own orientation using gravity as a reference point. This would really increase it's ease of setup.
