Alright the story begins when i bought the G-tech pro i always wondered exactly how much it was off. well anyways i recently tested my car and my girlfriends brothers 02 gt. Basically the only thing i have to increase hp would be my exhaust and it said my car ran 285hp cant remember the torque, and thats also a 97 cobra. we ran the GT with all the same settings figuring its the same car different model and newer year, and it said it only ran a 177hp, and we made several attempts because i was shocked and the same thing kept coming up, sometimes 176. we hoped back in my car and i pulled a 284. I know GT's are slower.. but by over a 100hp, and the GTs are under 200 stock?

Did you recalibrate the G-tech each time you moved it from car to car? Something ain't right....

A 2000 GT should dyno between 200-220 stock depending on if it's a 5 spd or auto....

When set up correctly and calibrated they are pretty damn close when it comes to estimating ET's, within .1 from what I've witnessed first hand. The newer G-Tech Pro is pretty accurate from what I've read and witnessed.

It's pretty close for the most part. You have to remember all it does is use a mathmatical formula to figure the HP. It derives the estimate based on total vehicle weight and acceleration/distance speeds/times. Kind of like what this HP calculator does: http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/calc.htm
