Worth every penny.....

I just bought/installed the new Autometer DPIC gauge.

Me and a buddy went out at lunch today and played with the 1/4 mile function. I ran a 13.80 at 109MPH going up a hill Not bad with a full tank of gas and both of us in it on an incline. I can't wait to see what it will be like at the track or at least a straight road.

Awesome, I was thinking about buying one. How accurate are they?

Re: Worth every penny.....

What type of sensors does it use and where do they mount? I am assuming just on the intake and/or exhaust ports??

It's all self contained. One wire to ignition, one to ground and one to the accessory lights. All you have to do is tell it how much your truck weighs and that's it. They're sposda be accurate to withing + or - 2%. The thing is that it will give you dynamic HP as apposed to static(like on a dyno) because of rolling resistance, wind, incline/declines.....etc. I found mine on ebay for like $169.00.

I'll post 0-60 and more 1/4 mile times as I get better runs. But, so far based on my MPH and weight the HP came out to 407HP at the crank and 313HP at the wheels. Of course that will prolly change once I run it on a flat road and with just me in it.
