G-Techs, How accurate are they?
I’m asking this question after seeing mention of someone using theirs in the 0-60, 1/4 mile time’s thread. I didn’t want to hijack the thread asking about it so here is a new one.
Does anyone have any experience or have any idea if these things actually work? If so how accurate are they? On their website it says they are pretty accurate but are they for real?
For those that don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a link. G-Tech
If this is close to accurate Id love to get one to see if my mod’s have really done anything, and to see if anything further I do really adds an hp or not.

I was looking at a Hyperpac from Hypertech. It has many of the same features as the G-Tech plus its a tuner. I first saw it on the HorsePower TV show, then checked it out on their website. http://hypertech.com/ It sounded so good I was going to get one until I saw the price. If I remember correctly it was $800 or $900.
sw07gt did you find that article from Car and Driver yet? Does it mention the Hyperpac?

I've seen the hyperpac for $699 online, still insane though for what it is and does. Hp TV tested it against their dyno and the difference was 5hp.

Wow... sounds too good to be true at $200. If its on the up and up I will get one.

RE: G-Techs, How accurate are they?
Every thing that I have read on it seems pretty neat, but the all say that you must have the exact weight of your car or everything elese is OFF and the numbers rarely match. I can see why you run one test with half a tank the next with a quarter tank and that's a big difference. ALSO you must be on a perfectly flat road to make it accurate also. I don't have one anywhere near me!
