The dyno should do hp. torque, a/f, and boost at a minimum. And lays all 4 on the same graph vs. rpm.

The street tuner software shows you real-time data. Whoopty do. Are you gonna just remember all those data points in your head, after reading them as they flash across the screen while you're driving? It only logs to a text file on disc. You have to open that file in another application to graph it. And that graph won't include the data coming from the G-Tech.

The EcuTek software (assuming it's similar to DeltaDash) will show realtime data, as well as graph all the data coming off the ECU. But that still doesn't show hp and torque, which is where the dyno comes in. And I don't consider the G-Tech a replacement for a dyno... there's no way the accelerometers are going to be all that accurate down a bumpy road, while attached to the windshield by a suction cup.
