Except that Vericom's are fairly pricy ($2,000) where G-Tech Pro's are in
the $139-$159 range (or as low as $99 as in the F-Body list group purchase
a year ago).

Drag-strip testing with the G-Tech Pro's have shown that they're
consistently off.  Each unit's variance differs, but it's consistently off
in the 1/4 ET and MPH (it's usually a little low on the ET and ~2 MPH high
in the MPH).
