i think you hit it on the head. it may not be ABSOLUTELY accurate, but is probably pretty relatively accurate. change something and it probably accurately shows the difference. but for equating absolute stuff, probably not super accurate. Michael once talked about how even dynos are really good for back to back runs, when it comes to tuning and knowing HP, etc. i think he said a click or two on the straps, etc, make a difference. then of course, there is dyno to dyno differences.r6bullet said:I got mine off of ebay, if you could get one for cheap then do it. In order for you to get the closest results you need to know the exact weight of you car. It is consistant, but I don't know how accurate the hp reading is. It told me that my camaro has 260 hp. I know a lot of you mustang guys will laugh and say that is right, but I don't think so. I will find out when I get it dynoed. I haven't used it on the mustang yet, but the stang is stock so it is not worth it.
Scott W said:I've also tested at the track and the relutls are withing 1/10 of a second on the 1/4mile. the mph is a little higher but the g-tech explains this. the 1/4 mile timer takes your average speed of the last 60ft of your run and considers this your mph, but the g-tech actually measures your speed right at the end of the 1/4 mile.QUOTE]
Exactly what he said. I tested mine at the track and it was 1/10 of a second off. Exactly what they claim. Good stuff.

so all in all, the G tech thing sounds cool.
just my ramblings.
JR, LMAO. ever frugal, arent you. (compliment, you and i think alike).
:OT: anyone know a cheap way to pull codes on a 94 camaro. cheapie code pullers wont do it - need a scan tool from what i gather. R6 bullet, any thoughts?
thanks bud. FYI, after '93, one needs a scanner to retrieve codes (not a 30 buck code puller). then later, GM went with an obd-II connector on OBD-I cars!! guys love that.r6bullet said:As far as pulling the codes from a 94 camaro, I have always used a scan tool that my auto tech class has. My auto tech teacher told me that with a few jumper wires you can actully jump the pins and the engine light would flash the codes. I don't remember wich pins he told me though. Try looking around online, sorry I couldn't be more help
