If there are any of you that have tested your Flashpaq at the tract or against any third party timer could you please let me know what the results were? From memory, but I can't find any posts to back this up, the Flashpaq's trigger is 1 mph and as a consequence it gives slightly slower ET than the track. Also the Flashpaq clocks the mph at exactly 1/4 mile and the tract clocks it 33' before the 1/4 resulting in a slightly higher mph than the track.
I have no idea what the capabilities are with the flashpack, however I have been using a Gtech for several vehicles now and have been nothing but pleased with the results.

To put it one way, which item is more accurate? The one that is a programmer and has an accelerometer added on as a bonus, or the item that is solely made for measuring track times?

I can verify the Gtech horsepower ratings 100%. I Gteched two separate cars that were later dyno'd to within 7hp of the gtech rating. HOWEVER because of the 300's antivibration cabin the gtech does have a little trouble detecting accurate horsepower numbers. But the 1/4 mile and 0-60 times should be right on.

If you want an accurate 1/4 mile and 0-60mph timer, then the Gtech (if properly calibrated) is your best bet. If you want an accurate horsepower number I would recommend getting exhaust first in order help the Gtech accurately detect rpms.
