Cheers man,

Do you know how much the VBOX III runs? Honestly the only stuff I saw prices on were the driftbox and stuff like that...

First things first... Get my car out of the shop, then I'll look at picking one of these up.

I assume you need the actual weight of your car and all that stuff entered into the VBOX for an accurate reading?

I had a VBOX III it was $22,000 from memory.
I now use a VBOX3i I can't remember the exact price but is around $27,000.

You don't need their top end unit though. Racing Beat use a VBOX II for chassis development (it's around $8,000 or so). But you don't even need to spend this amount.

I started out using a VBOX Mini > read here > http://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.p...66bc9be8914e1c

As I did more and more work I stepped up to the VBOX III then the VBOX3i with IMU unit and a whole host of other input boxes.

The VBOX Mini is copied in a hobby format in the Drift Box and Performance Box models, these are used 99% in the performance world *these are great products and do most of what you would ever need* These units from memory are sub $1000 or so. The VBOX Mini is around $2500.

These are THE reference measurement instruments across all vehicular platforms around the world and in so many testing labs, EOM's research centers etc etc ............ Buy a drift box or performance box it will be the best money you ever spend

Yes to calculate the power as I do (see here > http://www.riceracing.com.au/vbox-ii...ing-tuning.htm )

(I developed this formula from first principles myself) and use it on any RL .vbo or .dbn file to add a maths channel with power as the output (as I did for the dude with the fast fd)

you need to know the mass of the vehicle as run. I measure all the cars I test with my Tanner scale system.
