Since I don't have access to a dyno or a track, I did the next best thing: I bought myself a little piece of hardware called the Tazzo Vehicle Performance Computer:



No, it's not a radar detector, but it can detect a few things like:

0 - 60 ft times:



0 - 60 mph: {picture not shown}

1/8 mile times and top speed: {picture not shown}

1/4 mile times and top speed: {picture not shown}

Windowed horsepower:



60mph - 0 stopping distance:



Acceleration (in g's)




For the acceleration test, if you mount it sideways, you can measure g's when doing turns.

Quite a handy, little tool to test out your latest pedrformance mods. It evens has a calibration mode where you can adjust its output to match whaever you actually run at the track.

 

how much did that cost you and where did you buy it??

 

$99, from Afterthoughts Auto, plus $10 shipping. Here's the link:

real nice, I would love one to have one. Sadly I need a complete exhaust from y-pipe to muffler, finally an excuse to get more hp

 

What parts are you going to buy?

Just curious.

 

yeah buddy, those are for sale on ebay for 25 bucks, 35 shipped. i got my g-tech for 39 shipped. great fun tho, but not worth 109 bucks IMO, youl understand after a lil while..

 

y-pipe
cat
b-pipe( a cat-back system if I get one for a good price)
muffler

 

No, the Tazzo is not on eBay, nor has it ever been.

And, no, it is not the same thing as the G-tech, despite the apparent similarities in appearance.

 

So... what are you running?

 

Y'mean, besides guns and drugs?

Oops...wrong question.

All I have done, so far, is the 60ft test and the windowed horsepower test between 30mph and 45mph. It's hard finding a straight, level, and paved road without any traffic on it to do the others.

I may have to go out like at 5am one morning, and run it on an isolated stretch of highway. Or, I could pretend to be one of those idiot drivers who stops at the top of a highway entrance ramp and waits for the road to clear.

It would also help if I had a bulldog to let me know if there are any bears in the woods. (that's CB speak).

But, I digress.

My best 60ft. time was 2.29, and the WHP was 159 with an elasped time of 2.18.

I have no clue if that is good or bad.
