g-tech to check mileage/horsepower

a g-meter is used by fighter pilots. A company named "tesla electronics" makes one for checking your hp. Car&driver uses it. You program the weight of your car in it. Accelerate in first gear to peak rpm or higher. it gives you RWH reading +/-3 accuracy. it also gives real time g force readings. So you can accelerate and deccelerate at the same rates

No just power it up. I can't remember what type of file form the high tech one can download in your computor. Google "g-tech pro"?
