Default Right 1/4 Time?

Well I got a G-tech ss today and wanted to test it out. the hp and tq ratings are way off there at like 384hp and 416tq. But what i was wondering is my 1/4 mile about right it was 14.38, all my add ons are on my sign.

Those things aren't very accurate but that doesn't sound too far off(1/4 mile not power btw)

yea, i was gonna say

assuming a decent launch, i dont see why you couldnt manage that kind of time after a few runs at the track

( i'd love to borrow one to use it to test what i have run previously at the track,, then take it with me to the track to test it ,, that'd be kind of interesting)

lol must be. i still need to mess with it a little more and i think it might get a little more accurate but not to much. (lol for got the to put how many cylinders it has on the comp, it thought it was like a 1 cylinder or something o well) after getting it all set in ill post my new times and stuff see if its more accurate

Read the book, there is a diff way to test horse power, and its NET horsepower, Which is Lower than WHP, i guess it takes ur cars weight, Wind Resistance and stuff. But i dunno, ive heard that it pretty accurate for the 1/4 times.

that angle makes it look worse that it is, but yes, the passengerside does hang a tad bit lower, not even a quarter inch though, lower than the drivers side..

*shortly after getting the catback installed, the chrome finish on the pass. tip began peeling, and looking poor, with an almost brown finish,, so after contacting Borla, and recieving a 100% brand new tip via UPS, and sending teh old one back, w/o paying a penny, i attempted to put the new tip back on, however, as you can see, it isnt perfect*

Make sure you entered the correct weight of your car plus you. The only way I can see the GTech got the power figures you have compared to the ET it showed would be if you entered your cars weight as over 5000 lbs. Did you look in the door jam for the weight? If so, that is the gross vehicle weight meaning the weight of your car fully loaded with passengers, luggage, and full tank o' gas.
