I just completed a build up of a 351w in my 93. It was turned out
really great and I only have two problems to iron out. One being that

the idle doesn't come down for a long time after giving it gas a lot..
Takes several seconds of a very high idle to come back down to the 1000
mark... and my front tank fuel pump seems to not function correctly,
kind of lopes at idle and surges, but the back tank doesn't... Plus I
need to take it in for a recall cause when I use the back tank part of
the gas goes into the front tank...

I borrowed one from a friend of mine, and it was one of the coolest things
I've ever played with. It seemed really accurate with things like 0-60
time, 1/4 mile time and speed, braking distance and lateral g's, provided
you were on a flat, level surface. The only time it got sketchy was when
you tried to measure horsepower, because you had to enter the vehicle
weight. If you weren't really accurate (ie: +/- 15 lbs) you could get
really inaccurate numbers.
I'm looking to get one as soon as I have the funds. I would love to take a
few readings, change something (ie: add a K&N) and test it again. Really an
interesting piece of equipment.

Anyone ever tried this G-Tech meter that is advertised in Summit for $139?....
