Default Are GTECH's accurate?

Rather than spending $ on Dyno after Dyno I was thinking about getting a GTECH. Anyone know if these are accurate?

Gtechs are very accurate for 0 to 60 mph and 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile times, braking and cornering. I have one very accurate.

The horse power and torque numbers are not as accurate and hard to get consistant #'s. It also takes drag coe into effect so your numbers will be lower than a true dyno. I find the gtech very useful. I love the shift and cornering lights. I would have to say it would be tought to dyno tune with a gtech. The Dyno can vary from 5 to 10 hp depending on the run.

But ya can time tune your car like they use to in the older days.

I am able to get very accurate and consistent 0 to 60 mph times
I can nail three or four runs in a row with only hundreths of a second seperation. The new software is great. I recommend even thought the hp/torque settings are ok.
