Nice performance meter for only $29.95
Nice performance meter for only $29.95
Very similar performance to the gtech pro i used to have only this costs $29 on clearance!
Tried it tonight on the hhr ss and it showed 14.65@97mph which is right where it should be. I actually like it better than the gtech because it is wireless and compact.
Here is where I got it, a fun little toy to have and they are pretty darn accurate, i have used these accelerometers at the track several times and they are within 1/10th of second typically.
You better grab one before they sell out.
K.A.T. Matrix 3-Axis Accelerometer (Car Performance Meter) K.A.T. Inc. MATRIX
I can take a vid tomorrow if anyone wants to see it being used.

My 1st fun attempt, when first out at an in-town traffic light (with some street tire spin) , yielded
- max accel - 0.69 g's
- 60' - 2.28 sec
- 330' - 5.73 sec
- 0-10 mph - 0.63 sec
- 0-20 mph - 1.32 sec
- 0-30 mph - 1.99 sec
- 0-40 mph - 2.73 sec
- 0-50 mph - 3.65 sec
- 0-60 mph - 4.62 sec
- 0-70 mph - 5.81 sec
... then I shut down, couldn't even make the 1/8 mile without getting hyper illegal. I need a few more fun runs in more secluded locations. Neat tool for -FREE-

Neat little gadget to have and play around with.
Thanks Mr.P

my brother has one of those. actually i have it now so my sister in law didn't find out he bought it.
i've seen it in action in his turbo Voyager, works pretty good. i only did the 0-60 time in my SRT-6 though, i'll have to play with it some more.

Have you used the Iphone app yet?
Do you think it's accurate?

Re: Nice performance meter for only $29.95
I recieved my performance meter this morning and tested it out tonight. I have intake and sc pulley i just instaled this afternoon. I got 4.55 4.45 4.60 I did notice just before i reach 100ks (60m) on my speedo the run would end with the performance meter. Do these times sound right with the mods i have? I was very suprised didnt think i would be seeing such great numbers. Is 0-60miles and 0-100km slightly different? If so how would i calculate 0-100 maybe add on 0.1 - 0.2?
