    is G Tech good for test-tune on street if cant go to track?

    dont have time for the track everyweek but i do lots of passes on the street. is the g tech worth it/accurate to show gains from new mods since i cant always do passes at the track. and which out of the two are better for me the $200 or 300.

    Yes. Just makes sure you use the same road.

    For what it is, sure. As stated, works better if you use the same area.

    Personally I don't think the same road matters. The instruction manual is pretty big for just like 3 or for buttons but I read that it self levels. The gtech pro SS which is the one I've got does that. as long as the land you're on is level then you're good. I don't know what makes my SS model special from the others but I really like it. It saves runs and everything. shows (net) hp, torque, 0-60 30-60 (pretty much whatever you want, g's forward backward left right, its lots of fun.

    I suggest that if you get one just use it when you're only driving for fun or at the track because otherwise its just on and not really being used.

    by the way mine is mounted directly above the steering wheel but as high up on the windshield as I could get it and still see it comfortably. When the shift lights come on they're out of my way but definitely seen.

    My friend has one, he said it's a 5hp diff give or take then off of a dyno (which is pretty damn good for something that plugs into your cig lighter!). Thinkin about getting one. Is the RR model worth the extra $100.00 tho? Or should I just get the SS one and call it a day?

    Get the RR. I want to send my SS back and have it updated to the RR. It'll let you post runs you do with it when people try to call BS on you. It be nice to be able to keep track of stuff on a PC too.

    well the RR is no different in the ways that it gets data, so each is equally accurate,, but the RR lets u plug it into you computer

    The land may be level where you adjust (or it self adjusts), but the road may dip or rise 70 feet ahead. Using the same road each time will give you closer accuracy for knowing if your mods are working one by one. If you use a different road that dips or rises more, then it may seem like your new mods are better or worse than they actually are.
