not bad for just an intake and muffler

Well i did some stuf to my car It is in my sig. I was usally running 15.8 15.6 at 89 mph well after idid this stuff the g tech said i was runnig 15.20 at 95 mph i am pretty happy with that but i kept on spinning all the way through fisrt now matter how hard i road the clutch. i am going to get the lsd from slp . do you guys think it might put me in the 14.

measuring your 1/4mi time with G-tech is like trying to calculate your 1/4mi with a stopwatch. It's not accurate. The ET time MAY BE CLOSE, but the trap speeds (your 95mph) is ALWAYS read way too high.

Go to the track...that is if you can. :cool:

If you wanted to know...I G-teched my RWHP to be 175. :rolleyes:

oh yea get rid of the timing tricker in your mod list, I've found it slows me down on the 1/4mi runs (the real runs that is [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Eh, still, I doubt it.

Track times mean all

Why do you say it's not accurate and then say the ET may be close? As far as trap speed, the manual even tells you it will be off. The trap speed at the track is measured as an AVERAGE over 66 feet.
The old G-tech had to be DEAD LEVEL or you'd get varying readings. The new pro doesn't have to be.
I guess it showed GreenCamaro what he wanted to know anyway though - His times went down. If you can't get to the track very much I think the G-tech is still worthwhile in determining if you're making progress or not. SOTP "feeling" doesn't always translate into better ET's.

If you just lick and stick the old G to your window, of course you're not going to get very accurate results (not saying that's what anybody does). In a couple of months I'll find out for sure if the new pro model works as good as I think or if everybody that badmouths them are right. I'm taking the G-Tech to the track with me and making runs with it to compare to the ET slip this April when our track opens up. After that, if it's crap - so be it :D

because I mean that...it's realy not accurate because of your reasons you listed below (has to be dead level...etc). I do realize the last bit of the 1/4 is averaged, but their trap speed #s are ludicrous. They're ETs are usually somewhat close. Even if you don't take the average and go by the number 15.2 @ 95, there's no way you're going from 88 (my speed on 15.2 to 95mph in 66 feet!). The only ones I know trapping anywhere remotely close to 95 are well into the 14s. Average or not, the GTech can't calculate MPH properly.

[67-03 RIP]

Yea - kinda hard to argue that with the MPH...
Does everybody keep it hammered past the finish or let up as soon as they cross? (since the finish line is 1/2 way between the 66 ft). ET's and MPH are weird - specially depending on HP and gearing. I've seen people typically run 2-3 mph faster than our 69 (12.69@102.5) but be a SECOND slower ET wise.

Thanks for taking the question the way I meant - I wasn't cutting on your opinion [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

that's probably because you can get out of the hole quicker/better than the other car and the others that race cannot.

The best way to look at it is your ET represents how good YOU can drive your car (e.g. launch, shifting, etc...), the MPH is the horsepower your car can throw at the ground. It's a nice way to look at it.

Plus the DOT roadways dont launch like a real sticky track :-D

After you get the LSD, pick up a whistle tip ;) shave off like .5 a second and do it in style. :eek:
