Haha yea but that only gives you the crappy narrowband AFR. No one cares about that anyway.

I would have to agree that information is useful haha (who couldn't!), but I also agree with matt. This makes a fun thing to play with, and even does a decent job estimating your forces, but it certainly isn't in depth enough to do a serious tune with. Too many other things at hand.

I am not bashing the device, I think it's great for what it is, and I wouldn't mind having one myself just to see some decent estimates about my car, but I think about all they are good for are estimates.

PS - a realtime ECU gives you much more useful data

I'm going to use it to compare the AEM CAI, BPi Flow Stack, JWT Pop Charger, and an eBay intake.

Numbers don't have to be 100% accurate, but they will show me which intake gives me the most HP

Plus on eBay they are going for $70 shipped. Thats less then one dyno run

Haha, well that depends on the actual amount of inaccuracy. Unless there is a serious difference I think you might be out of luck trying to compare those, but if you already have them it's worth a try anyway.

You should make sure your conditions for each are nearly identical, and do at least 10 runs with each and take an average. I wouldn't trust anything different

Man that means I would have to redline the car for 10 times, fuel up redline some more. Thats a lot of gas to waste LOL, not mentioning tickets for fast driving

I already have the listed above parts so might as well put them to use then sell the losers

When these first came out,I bought one for my brother.
He had just bought a new srt-4 (in 04).
We found that once you got the settings right,it worked pretty good.
I know it is not 100 percent accurate,but it does help you see if there is any improvement from mods.
We put a AEM CAI on his car and showed a definate improvement.

Vadim,I would be interested in seeing your results on the intakes,so keep us posted.
