once upon a time I used to be employed by this company (aka Cincinnati Microwave).

I am not sure how well it works, but it may be worth a try, its called the Passport G-Timer

A product called the V-Tech has been out for a long time and works off G-force too. Drag racers swear by them. They usually sell for $250 US.

Well guys I ordered it yesterday so I will give you guys some feedback on it. I have 30 days to try it out and if it doesn't work out I can return it. From what I have read, you pretty much have to go in a straight line, and no wheelies to get an accurate reading. Well see how it goes...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Got the G1. Can you believe I ordered it yesterday and it is here already? Boy was I surprised. Will not have a chance to try it out until tomorrow. If it works like it says, it should help me really dial the V in.

That is a pretty cool little gadget Brewster? I think that can help me out as well. It will plug right into my accessory outlet, that makes it quite convient.

Thanks great find! Let us know how it works.

I can tell you it is a pretty neat product. It works great in my SUV[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] but I have not tried it yet on the V. I did notice the suction cups on the bottom of it do attatch nicely to the fuel tank cover on the V, so that may be where I mount it.

I just received my Passport GT2, and plan on doing some testing of the DG and Nabor modules vs stock this weekend. I will post my acceleration results.

Thanks
