Re: New G-Tech pro comp We've got one at work. So far it seems to be very repeatable, but we haven't been able to compare them actual dragstrip times. I'd expect to be within .05 secs. The old Gtechs were typically .02-.05 from the actual timeslips.

Re: New G-Tech pro comp I brought one of the old Gtechs to TNT at Memphis Motorsports one night and clicked off 5 passes. The biggest disparity between the Gtech and the time slip was .04 that night on a high 14 sec car. The old Gtech measures instantaneous 1/4 mile mph...the dragstrip takes the average mph over the last 66 feet...thus the 3-4 mph difference.

Re: New G-Tech pro comp Correct. It's another reason why people often miscalculate proper gearing. 130 MPH trap speed is really more like 133-134. If you're running close on gear, it makes alot of difference.
I have the old GTech, the ET's were fairly close. Usually within a half tenth. The MPH would usually be 4-6 off. It was worth it for backroad test-N-tuning.

Re: New G-Tech pro comp My buddy just got one...its actually pretty darn impressive. Lots of features and seems to be accurate. I thought the old one was difficult to get setup properly?
