This probably doesn't mean much to those who make it to the track or have access to a dyno. But it is one way for the rest of us to verify improvements. While stock my heavy convertible slowmatic ran 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds. (This was my best time using a G-tech). With the mods listed below, I am now able to do it in 5.7 seconds. I was hoping for more but I guess that this is a start.

Anyone know what that might translate into for a quarter-mile time? If it helps, my 60 ft time was 2.141 seconds.

Also, what do you think should be my next mod? Since traction is not a problem, I will probably start on the exhaust.

I tried that on mine, so far my best was a 5.05 but usally I get 5.2-5.3 ish, traction limited

Those gtech are a great way to test to see if your mods do anything. What kinds of 1/4 times are you getting off of that thing?

That's a great time. It must be the 5-speed along with the x-pipe.

I haven't run a quarter-mile time yet. I've been looking for an open stretch of road that is cop-free.

I ran 0-60 mph again this morning. The gas tank was about 1/8 full. My new time is 5.37 seconds. With a vehicle weight of 3770 lbs, the G-tech calculated my net horsepower to be 206.7 and my net torque to be 219.2. Net horsepower is lower than rwhp. Strangely, my stock time was 6.16 seconds with a calculated net horsepower of 199.6 and net torque of 244.2. According to the G-tech, I gained 7.1 hp but lost 25 ft-lbs of torque. I am starting to lose confidence in the G-tech, at least in calculating torque. Any explanations?

I think those things are worthless (I have one too) for HP and Trq values. Don't get to hung up on those readings.

Also, did you change the weight input on the car. That will affect the values.

I think the G-tech's kick ass for 0-60 times but suck for everything else even on the 1/4 mile it seems to be wrong, but I really want to get into the 4's for 0-60
