Default does this 98 moddified trans am have 269 hp????

i bought a gtech meter, entered a weight 0f 3500pds. I flored it ,it spun threw first and held it till it yellow lined and let go. Is my car a p.o.s. or is it the g-tech? I have a granetteli lid,3.42 gears ,free air ,and a cut out.Please put my mind at ease and tell me the g-techs wrong.

Um, ok. First, what he said above me.
Second - seriously, think about this. How is the g-tech going to measure hp - by an estimate based on time of acceleration and weight. Therefor, you answered your own question by saying you spun your tires.

You could have used the money that it cost to buy that g-tech to....

Buy a ticket to race at a track

They will give you facts about your power, not estimates by a blind machine
