Stereo & Electronics - gtech

Ive been wanting to get a gtech performance meter, it looks like it would be fun to mess with, 0-60 1/4 mile 1/8 mile times, seems like it would be fun to have and the website has vids of them runnin 1/4s and comparin times and its really close, i was wondering if any of u have used one and if it was accurate, on the 0-60 and 1/4 times

ived used a dyno meter on my Iphone and it was pretty close...
on the 1/4 and the HP rating it said i had 312hp...

kinda of topic
but i just wanted to add that lol.

that gtech thing is garbage. it might show a 50hp difference within 2 different runs that are only seconds apart.

I'd like to respectfully disagree. Anyone who takes time to read the instructions, and understand how the Gtech device works will bre rewarded with very consistent measurements. I'll agree that the HP function is superfluous. It was added because it didn't take any additional engineering to add another feature.

My Gtech has repeatedly given trap times within .01 seconds on the track. And its very quick to respond to engine RPM changes, particularly in gears 2,3,4. Its a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to do some basic data logging or just likes to goof around with that kind of stuff.

It wasn't designed by NASA (even though it uses ballistic accelerometers), but it is hardly garbage.

yeah i figured the hp would be off i was mainly wondering about the times, if they were pretty true so far most people say they are pretty close, thats all i need to know, now il just try to catch a deal on ebay lol

The G-TECH is a very nice tool, like all tools the need to be used correctly or else you will have negative statements that are false!
I have had the same G-TECH since 1993 and it is just as accurate now. it has paid for itself many times over..
You will notice the MPH will be higher than what the track says,generally by 5mph but this METER activates itself by INERTIA, not breaking a beam like the track.... My G-TECH has been used at the track many times so i trust the accuracy ET is almost dead on the track may say i ran a 12.20 G-TECH may display 12.18-12.22 thats pretty good for the money...great product!

yeah i was referring to the HP only, hence why i only commented on the HP portion of it. not sure on the quarter mile times as i never had a track time slip to compare to.

Mine was pretty accurate for times. I had an old, old model that didn't calculate HP.
