Default G-tech says I'm in the high 14s, Ya hoo!

I only got two runs 15.4 and 14.7. The runs where slightly up hill. The first one I bogged like crasy, The second one I spun a little bit. So I figure if I can launch I should be in the high 14s. Basically thats my goal for my sohc. I just hope it gtech is kinda close. My last real time I ran 15.8 and I had major wheel spin and no top end power because of my exhaust. My goal is to get 200hp and break into the 14.

After those two runs I wheel hopped so bad I broke a injector clip wire and pulled the wire out of my vtec solinoid. I think I need to work on my motor mounts.

First time I ran with the G-tech it said 14.8, I ran at the track and did a 13.8. After changing my setup the G-tech said 13.9 and I ran a 12.9 at the track. For me it was consistently a second slower than what I really was running

interesting, with my setup. I should actually be around 200 flyweel hp. I think which should be close to braking 14s.

The reason I say this is because my engine stock is around 127hp at the flywheel. I add 7psi via a turbo. that should be (7/14.7)+1 *(127) = flywheel 187hp, atleast thats the rule for most fi engines. That should put me close to breaking in the 14s I dont think i would have a the slighest change for middle 14's. I'm just to fat so is my car.

200 whp is good for low 13's if its in a light car like a crx or a eg hatch.

Mine said 15.8 and I ran 14.6...
My friends ran 12.2 and at the track it ran 12.1.
My brother ran 13.8 using mine, but 13.4 at the track.
The same night my brother used my G-tech he raced my friends mustang and got beat by like 2 1/2 cars, yet the mustangs G-tech times were all high 14's....

G-tech is only good for comparing your g-tech times to old g-tech times, like if you add/change something...

I wonder if the NEW $250 G-tech Pro is really 1/100th accurate.. ?

Do NOT follow the G-tech's in any way!!! they are off no matter what... sure if you try the G-tech at the track it'll be close.. thats cuz your using the same type of pavement, same conditions, same level... but if you keep switching spots it will be way off. my friend has one and i don't trust it what so ever considering i ran a 16.1 on it and my friend with a 94 camaro z28 auto STOCK ran 14.6 and i stay 3 cars or closer to him. thats 1.5 seconds he is faster than me but yet i stay that close to him... bs. only use the same road with the same conditions starting at the same point BUT only for re-checking your times like someone else said. sure you ran a 14.8 and then with something else you may run 14.6 good you improved if you use the same hill and thats NOT your correct time, its only for improvement. when people say what time they got the g-tech like no one ever listens. only says ---- like i am now cuz its a pile of crap, i'd rather take my friend and race him again cuz he will and see how much i improved.

My wrx ran 3 times 14.9 and 1 time 14.6, that's in regular roads. At the track I get 14.9 all the time, to me it has been really regular.
