I had a handheld Performaire for years. Won an IHRA Ironman with it in 2003. But last year I upgraded to a Performaire PC and Crew Chief 6.0 software. The Performaire PC essentially provides "stable" air readings - but it's the Crew Chief 6.0 that I really like. I am a numbers guy (my education is in mathematics), so the ability to sort the data...find runs that fit different criteria...create unlimited databases...all this really appealed to me. And this year proved it works. I went from one T-stop blade angle setting to another, mid-event in Sept, and Crew Chief predicted flawlessly.

I will agree though, whatever you go with is only as good as the runs you input.

Oh yeah - And I will vouch for the fact that Don Higgins ALWAYS answers his phone. I've asked him some pretty dumb questions and he still takes my calls!!!
