Did an archive search and came out with nothing. Has anyone used one? Seems like a nice but expensive little gadget, maybe good for a car club.

Mahalo (thanks) for any replies. Aloha, Neal

It is a nice little gadget but it isn't very accurate unless it is being used to compare mods on the same car.

Basically if you are looking for correct data you have to spend the bucks to get it. If you are looking to compare from one car to the next, or one mod to the next then it is acurrate against itself but don't use its horspower figures as gospel they are often overestimeated...

Well, I've used my G-tech a lot, and it's helped me see what works, what doesn't on my car, the 944. Interesting enough, some of the specific mods that I made for handling lived up to my expectations. Ofcourse there are a lot of vairables, but most important of all, try to keep the test site the same, driver the same (technique), tire pressures, tires, time of day, AND temparature... They all matter!

However, as far as HP #s go, remember, you HAVE TO have the EXACT weight entered in.

You know, they do have a money back gurantee, so why not try?

I put my 245s all around, (Dunlop SP 8000 Sports) I can still lock the tires from around 88 (top of 3rd gear, I wasn't looking at the speedo). However, I was definately tire limited as far as braking goes, the feedback got much better too. The car almost has no understeer now, neutral to a tad oversteer, I LOVE IT. Anyway, November 5th, my next auto-x, I shall have the G-tech with me!
