Need help finding 1/4 mile, 0-60 mph reader

[whitevenum]

Do any of you guys know of or have ever purchased an accurate mph, 0-60 time, 1/4 mile reader? Im going to get serious in dialing in my cobra on the street this summer and need this piece of equipment to know exactly what numbers im getting. I believe this thing should mount to the windshield. Any info from you guys would be greatly appreciated! :beer:

You can get the 1/4 mile time knocked out at..... yup the track. What's so important about the 0-60? Magazines quote it as a metric of power to weight. You can weigh and dyno your car to get the same thing. In fact you could probably do all 3 for the price of an accelerometer device more accurate than a cell phone. Otherwise your looking at vbox. I don't know anything about vbox but I bet its expensive...

I have a racelogic performance box. It works great, easy to use and very reliable. Comes with the software you need to do all the data analysis you can imagine.

Performance Box - Lap Timer, Speedometer, Accelerometer

Hardest thing is finding a dealer in the US to purchase. I bought mine from switzer performance for around $500-$600.

I think there is a V-box still for sale in the market section. Might have to go back a few pages to find it.

Edit-It was a g-tech pro and just sold.

I care nothing for the track because i do all my racing on the street. 1/4 mile times are very different for the track and the street. Thats why im looking for this reader

Go to the track.

Edit*** Nvm...

Pocketdyno app?

gtech is decent. Mine has been accurate in the past with hp, tq, 1/4 and trap. :0 I was impressed by the guessing torque. I haven't tried it boosted though. My car is closer to 250whp now, so I don't know the accuracy with more spin.

 

[wheelhopper]

I had a GTECH. It worked good for me.

You can get free apps for your cell phone to do what your asking.

+1 to the g-tech.

Fairly accurate for me compared to the track.

 

[whitevenum]

Looks like G tech is the way to go. Well priced for the ss unit
Thank you everyone!

 

[devin1986]

Yup. I've used gtech and all the phone apps too. Some of the phone apps are pretty good, but gtech is the best if the price is right for you.
