Default Need Some Help : G-Tech Pro SS (How accurate?)

Anyone have this unit? How accurate is it with your track times? The reason I'm asking is b/c stock I ran a 13.33 @ 105, and since then I have installed Borla Quad Stinger, X-Pipe, and a Vararam. I got this unit today and tested it out a couple of times (on the street) and got a best of 13.35 @ 107. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

C'mon someone must have something to say.

Should I trust the G-Tech?

I ran a GTEch Pro down the quarter to check it for accuracy several times - it was pretty much right on the money everytime, minus my reaction time. BUT keep in mind no street will give you the times that a prepped track will.

Also you will not see any real performance gains from any CAT back and X pipe - and only nominal from a new air intake. Try a set of Long Tubes and a tune... you will see that gain.

The Pro series meters are pretty accurate. The times will be close to strip times but the MPH will always read high at the end of the 1/4 mile due to the way the GTech calculates speed. (It calculates speed for the entire run instead of the last 60') Also, reaction time has no bearing at all on your time or speed.

Ok pulled a 13.035 @ 107.852 mph at the tracks compared to the 13.35 @ 107 that the G-Tech calculated.

Did you not run it at the track? 13.35 was what you saw on the street with the G-Tech. Did you have the G-Tech on when you ran the Q at the TRack to get the 13.035?


Did you only make one run? Was the Mount secure? Oh and MOST importantly - Good run!

It gave me the same at the tracks, 13.35. I might need to adjust the settings a bit to get it to match.
