Default how accurate is g tech

my buddy has a gtech so we put it on my car.. i spun of course, and ended up running a 13.59 at 110 mph.. the only comparison i have is my actual 1/8th mile run of 8.5@86.7 mph... i think i should be much lower than 13.6 especaially if im finishing at 110

MPH sounds way off but I've ran 8.5 1/8 and it was a 13.3 1/4.

MPH is off on G-techs. I ran a 13.83 before headers and exhaust, running 8 times on 3 roads in both directions. all from 13.8-14.1. After headers, tune, intake, i did the same 8 runs on the same roads, same g-tech all leveled out, and ran 12.92 al from 12.9-13.1. They are consistent, and i believe they are pretty accurate. The MPH is always off for some reason.
