I know Gtech isnt perfect, but magazines HAVE rated it well and within .1 IF, and I emphasize IF used correctly. Anyways, I think it'd be fun for everyone to post their gtech 0-60 and 1/4 times if you've done it.

0-60mph
5.38 secs, spinning thru first and without the Nitto DR

1/4 mile
havent gotten a chance to do it

Please no one come in here flaming the gtech. This thread is only to brag about your gtech times, not how PERFECTLY accurate they are or are not..

Also, i know this thread isn't about "Engine Tech" but its the best place to get responses from other LT1 guys...

 

lol

 

Gtech works pretty good on a mildly modified car. i squeezed a 13.7x out of it and ran a 13.8x at the track. thats pretty accurate for a little box that plugs into your cig lighter socket. 0-60 best is 5.1x, usually ran around 5.3x. this was before heads and a cam, and the explosion.

 

Nah, probably more suited to www.riceboyz.com...I think it's their official event timer!

 

Haha, you posted a link to a vegetarian site. Are you saying vegetarians like to use the G-tech?

 

This thread is too much.

 

It isn't a bad TOOL you just have to use it consistently and understand that it measures things a little different. For instance it will almost always result in a higher MPH than an actual track, neither is wrong they just measure differently the g-tech takes an instant reading at the end where the track times you over the last so many feet and figures mph based on the time it took to trip one light then the next but you are still accelerating so that is actually an average time between those two lights not the speed when tripping the last light.

 

Not exactly.... If you work the numbers, a 112mph car pulling 0.20G's at the end of the 1/4-mile shows a difference of only 0.80mph between the average over the last 60-ft and the actual terminal velocity at the end of the 1/4-mile. The g-Tech errors are generally a lot larger than 1mph.

 

its a good tool to compare before and after stuff, but not to compare to dyno/track testing
