I live 1700 km (1100 miles) from the nearest dragstrip so I got my hands on a G-Tech, took it out for a few runs last night... almost stock 07 GT 'Vert, for a baseline before I put all the goodies I have coming in or on the car, I only did a few runs, as I haven't put insurance on the car this season yet...

The first run spun alot, I didn't catch the 60' (if it even measures that?), and after reading most of the book, the HP and 1/4 mile techniques are different so the HP figure would be off... but it ran a 13.89 @ 105.xx mph... I could have spent some time figuring out how to drive the thing, but it was late and I decided to take it home before the dog catchers (local cops) showed up.

My question is what do people think about these G-Tech Performance meters?

I also have a whole truck load of stuff coming including a WMS Ram Air Intake & 95mm MAF, SCT X3 Tuner, Bassani Catted-X, 3.73s, Foose Whees & Nitto Tires, Lowering Springs, Control Arms, Lightbar, Agent 47s, etc... I am sure I forgot some stuff, but I am looking forward to it all... I put in a Pro5.0 Shifter last night, what a difference... I am impressed so far.... anyways, just wondering what people think about the G-Techs, are they accurate?

 

they work well. I have tested mine at the dragstrip - it is close on ET. Usually off by a tenth or so. The trap speeds are high usually and forget about the HP reading. However for ET it is pretty good tool for comparison when making mods.

 

its hit and miss

sometimes its accurate, sometimes its off to lunch

case in point, i once had a read out of 14.4 @ 109 mph lol

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

one of my friends has a g tech. i tried it out and pulled a 0-60 in 4.7 with it but i never tried out the 1/4 mile.
