I'm using a friends g-teck and the thing is way off.I made a few runs and it said 15.3sec 1/4 at 88.89mph but i look'd at my speedo when it beep'd, it said 105mph.

The thing its right on for my 2 friends. My friends accord ran a 15.6sec 1/4mile N/A ( but my 240 is way faster)

The other one has a SS W/LS1 and runs a 13.1to13.5 at 106mph.

Mine was .02 off at most...I used it right at the track. I'm guessing user malfunction.

Pitch is the setting you use when you level the unit itself. It needs to leveled or the accelerometers won't read correctly.

ive got the autometer dpic and it works great. more of a permanent mount though, kind of a downside.
