I stand (almost) corrected. ;) (Teasin' ya Steven)
Jeremiah was talking about a "V-Tech" performance meter. I only know of the
G-Tech.

> Hello All,
> I have the V-Tech performance meter. I took it for a test run last night;

4

are

RPM

was

a

life*
> I improved about .400 sec. in my ET. Speed I most likely won't improve on
