I ran the gtech for the first time thanks to my buddy FBodman and me and him went down a stretch of road.. not the nicest place but only safe place in town.I don't know what factors play into it.. me and him combine for about 420-440 lbs above my full option car weight.. running on 18s with some wheel hop... oh and LS1 intake not LS6 intake... let me know!!
What should I be trapping.. by the way i need to learn how to drive lol

Real car - '02 TA A4, G5 cam, cutout and bolt-ons. 385 whp, 3,475 lbs, Nitto DR's. 1.85 60', 12.2 @ 113.
2nd real car - '99 SS M6, 427 all-bore full up. 505 whp motor only, unknown weight, Nitto streets. "Terrible" 60', 11.4 @ 125.
http://www.ondoperformance.com/calculators.html
Calculates about 11.8 ET at 3,750 lbs (generic weight) @ 116 (ballpark number).
[edit] BTW, 66 feet is .38 seconds at 116 mph, so the mph from GTech is probably pretty close to track trap speed, but still higher. [/edit]

During my lunch break I went out onto a deserted highway a few miles from work and gave it another try with the gtech.. this time round I managed a 119.3 mph. That sound a little better? Either way so probably high 11s or low 12s if I hook up and can drive?

Now you're talkin'. The previous poster was sayin mid to high 12s...something is seriously wrong if you run that kind of time with those heads and cam. With traction, you should be well into the 11s IMO.

My g-tech mph is almost always 5-6 mph too high . I ran it at the track and found this out. And has been as high as 10 mph off .
As far as the mph goes, I ran 11.62 @ 117 with a 1.64 60ft .
Good luck and get some tires that hook and see what you get at the track.

My car is similar to yours, street tires, full weight (jack and tire in), fully stock suspension with exception of adj panhard (waste of money), I weight 235. I ran 12.40 @ 117.01 in humid warm weather 5/7 in Fayetteville NC. see sig. Stock heads, stock intake. Haven't redone my Ls1 edit dyno tune for the lt's and y pipe. That was on a bogging 2.03 60 ft on Kumho 711's.
