Re: Performance G-tech meter's, do they work??
so last friday i used one (same model G-TECH) and it said that i hit 15.3 @ 100.3 mph on street tires.... sunday i went to the track and didn't run above a 14.8 on street tires but did pull lots of 100 mph traps... my best was 103.22 at the track
also did the dyno and it wouldn't hold the highest # in the memory.... but we both seen it blip 189, 195, & 215 whp ...on 13psi.... but i don't think it's right.
hope this helps.....
for $33 shipped.... i think it's worth it just to ---- around w/ it!
but that's just me

nice, but when it measures your hp does it tell you how much your using at the moment? like the numbers will change as your motors hp changes...i cant explane it 
do you get what im trying to say?

Those old one suck. The new ones work better. GTECH in general work well if you do a base run and then do some mods and then try it again. The difference is what the new mod has done in general...
Not the most accurate things, but ---- it does alright...

It plugs into your cigarette lighter. The only thing it could possibly accurately measure is your battery voltage, but even then it's not going to be 100% accurate since it has to travel all the way from th battery toi the fuse box through thin gauged wire and then to the cigratte lighter, so I give it the Honda-Tech :thumbsdown:
