Get the G-tech. It's awesome! Got one. go to gtechpro.com and read about it. can vouch personally for its polished design. It is upgradeable, something that others are not and hs great screens.

It's the same as the BeEL one, just rebadges it looks like (as far as I remember).

no prob. just a made a run with it. Showed 0-60 at 6.03 sec. Not sure what's going on; it doesn't compare well with the 'magazine times'. I guess those are unrealistic anyways, with a totally different methodology.

I was hoping for mid to high 5's. What do you think?

Very tough to say. I mean launching the car takes lots of practice. I really want to use the G Tech to figure out what the best times are in different launch situations and launching at different RPM's etc. I cant wait to get it. I have the Stillen SC, exhaust and intake and want to see what my times are. Even if it is off my .1-.3 seconds it still gives a close enough sample plus adds some fun.

Please keep me posted on what times you get. Wow and SC huh. Can't wait until something reasonably priced is available for the G sedan. Let me ask you smth, is there really a lot of parasite drag with the SC, I mean did your MPG just plummet after the install. What MPG in normal driving do you get?

Thanks

My mileage did definitely go down a little but not too much. I mean the additional injector only comes on when enough throttle is applied. City driving the mileage is noticeable but not on highway driving. The car just isn't really made to be a daily driver with the added mods in Los Angeles traffic. The heat soak is terrible and the car runs really well only in cold weather. It feels sluggish in warm weather in traffic. Air temps reach 140 degrees at idle on hot days. I cant wait till Stillen comes out with the intercooler.
