0 to 60 times

how can you get an acurate 0-60?

again...acurate...i ran one in my old f-150, and it said I ran a 12.5 in the 1/4....It was probally a 17 second truck.

A G-tech is accurate if you know how to use it properly and understand it's limitations.. Otherwise you're hosed.

I get very repeatable and consistent results from mine... Almost new and with a few upgrades I could rip off consistent 8.1 0-60 times with my ZX3. I can now rip off consistent 7.7-7.8s.

The gtech is accurate to itself, not real world results. My friend ran his at the drag strip to see how well it would read. His 14.6 at 96 run the gtech said he did a 14.2 @ 101. Pretty far off if you ask me. He had plenty of practice with calibrating it too. I managed to get a 7.1 0-60 in my old focus. My new one must be in the high 6's on gtech then. Or about low 7's in the real world.

I ran my car at the drag strip with my G-Tech Pro and it was about a tenth slower and 1-2 mph higher. So far my best 0-60 time with my SVTF has been 6.8 my '91 Stang has a best of 2.9 (on slicks). Man what a ride!

fociS2 what do you have done to your mustang that runs 10 second quarter miles? i have a friend up in Maine that has a 93 gt that has 600 whp and runs 10.2

Ask a friend of yours to take a ride with you so he can take the time while watching the speed. Do it prolly 3-5 times and take the average of them, I think you'll get close to accurate 0-60.

I *can* be. It is a computer with a precision accelerometer.. Like any other electronic device it works within the feedback it is given. If given flawless input, it will produce flawless output. The problem with the G-tech is that it does not factor in body pitch and roll front to back.. As the back of the car squats, the G-tech squats with it, causing it to read more G-forces than one that would be level with the car. If somebody built a two wheel attachment to the side of the vehicle with no suspension play, I'd bet money that the accuracy would improve. The sloppier your suspension, the higher the discrepancy.

The quarter mile trap speed is also intended to be off, because it calculates the speed at the 1/4 mile point instead of measuring the time between two points as a real track does... Even the manual tells you the traps speeds will be off.

The motor is a 347 (stroked 302) with TFS aluminum heads, extrude honed FMS Cobra intake, 42lb. injectors, cam, long tube headers, ect. I have Vortech V2 S-Tim pullied to 15 psi along with a sumped gas tank with external fuel pump and all 1/2" fuel line. Right now it makes 530 rwhp with a very conservative tune.

I think the word you're looking for there is "precise". The Gtech can be precise, meaning it will give consistent results, but may not be "accurate", which means giving the correct results.
