G-Tech Pro times....
well, finally weighed the car and got some times, question is, are they any good?
You can look at my sig to get my few mods...
Car weighs 3640 with me and a full tank of gas.
0-60 best was 7.2
1/4 mile best was 15.2 at 95.4
h.p. was 164 (at rear wheels)...
anyway to convert 1/4 mile to 1/8 mile? thats what the local strip is...
thanks,

Looking good, practice will lower those times. I just took mine out for the second time (4 runs total) and ran 14.52 @ a03. Getting hp, need to work more on launch to lower times more. :D :cheers: :flag Love those Buffs, ex maintenance officer on them.

Re: G-Tech Pro times.... (krafty79)
I have a G-Tech Pro. It is a pretty neat tool. As you said, It will be usefull for checking for improvement after modifications.
Lots of people like to POO POO them off as JUNK. I too was skeptical when I first heard about them. The claims just sounded like plain old B.S. to me. After reading way too many positive things about them from credible and non-credible sources I finally bought one.
Seems that the biggest misunderstanding with the G-Tech is the MPH value that it shows following a 1/4 mile run is usually ~7 to ~9 MPH faster than what an actual 1/4 mile time slip would show. According to what I have read, this is due to the trap speed being based on an average of the last 60' at the dragstrip. The G-Tech just shows the MPH given at the moment it crosses the 1/4 mile mark vs. an average of the last 60'.
All in all, the majority of the reports show that the G-Tech will almost always be withing ~1/10 of a second of the official time slip at a track. That's close enough for me.

Re: G-Tech Pro times.... (MIKER)
Got mine, used it for the first time in the vette Wednesday. Ran a 0-60 @ 5.8. Last year I used my friends, with a 0-60 of 5.5 and 1/4 mile of 13.8.
I don't expect it to be right on the money, but it gives you a good idea.

Re: G-Tech Pro times.... (krafty79)
I think your times and rwhp are in line with your mods. My 200 net hp -72 ran 7.5 sec 0 - 62 (european model of g-tech...) and showed 155 rwhp. My friends 300 gross hp -70 run also 7.5 but was heavier during testing (ragtop with two people onboard). His rwhp was 170. We are both planning for mods / engine transplants to make our cars faster :D :D
