I thought I would share this link that I had found:

I know that this technology is not new, but at this price, this piece could be a definite game changer if it is anywhere near accurate. I would love to hear people that know more about this device and any others thoughts on this

lol, who comes up with these names?

Nobody else is excited about this? I thought this would have brought up a lot of comments...is it because people have already heard about it?

I heard about it on MotoIQ, but yeah it's pretty freakin cool. For $1200 there is definitely a ton of other stuff I want to do to my car before I spend that kind of money. For those that have a need for the constant data I could see it being very beneficial, but for the average enthusiast its just a very cool gizmo.

Awaiting the real world test data on accuracy.

^^Yes i am very eager to hear about how accurate it is...But if it is accurate and it records under real world driving conditions, this could be quite the achievement for AEM

I'll be surprised if the "temperature compensated slip yoke" is really all that stable over multiple pulls. Besides, you have to attach this widget to the back of your tranny. Not as trivial as a drive-on dyno.

And for that price (plus tuning software) it only makes sense for a club or hard core racer. I didn't spend that much on dyno pulls for my S2000 and Z06 combined. But for a club? Heck yes worth it, just like the multi-axis accelerometer system one of my racing clubs owned.

If it is accurate enough I could see it easily saving money on dyno time for tuning. For someone that does their own tuning it would be a godsend and even the cost of getting a street vs dyno tune with a tuner would eventually pay for itself.

The way I see it is it could allow alot more shops to offer tuning options so long as it is accurate. While $1200 may seem like alot to myself it is peanuts compared to a drive on dyno for a shop or small tuner starting out. Could also be great for amature racing teams that want to test different set ups since I could easily see spending $1200 on tuning alone for that kind of application. I can see this as being a good way to get a build dialed in and then taking it to the regular dyno for final tweaks. Pretty cool is you ask me.
