Bought a Kat Matrix Today works pretty well.

I bought this thing called a KatMatrix which is normally 200 bucks for around 70 from a website called www.officetronics.com. Its pretty cool and accurate anybody know if they have one of these kinda things built in a flip out screen with GPS? thanks. Thought I share some goodies I got.

I have the Pioneer AVH-5700DVD head unit and you can add the VDP-1 to it, that does the same stuff and more..
VDP-1 is a "vehicle dynamics processor"..
Measures: RPM + HP + TQ + Lateral G's + Acceleration G's + GPS + Slope + Angle + Battery voltage...

Thats pretty cool. I might look into getting that. I have the Pioneer D3 in dash and that would work well.
