I have a g-tech and was wondering how accurate they are?

Thanks

That's an *excellent* question, and the answer is, it varies.

At it's very best, it can be within 2-3 tenths of a second of your 1/4 mile times. However, that unit has only 1 relatively inexpensive accelerometer instead of 3, (1 for each axis), so how it is mounted and leveled is absolutely *critical* to it's relative accuracy. Consistency is affected by how it's leveled & mounted each time you use it to.

Also, as we recently learned from JMC, is you have a manual transmission and suffer from wheel hop on a high-rpm clutch dump type of start, that can shake the windshield and throw those times *way* off.

But, leveled and mounted carefully and consistently, it can be a great little tool to give you good approximations of various factors, times, rough power levels, etc. You also have to have exactly correct vehicle weight figures as well of course. Used carefully & consistently, for their cost, it can be a lot of fun, just remember it isn't exact.

Thanks a lot. I have been using it for a while and am getting a low of about 14.79 ETs to a high of 15.48 ET with trap speeds in the 95 to 90 mph. The 0 to 60 times high 6s to low 7s. So what do you think about those times looking at my Signature.
