This sucker pulls the RPM's outta the cig lighter! They claim it's the only thing in the WORLD that does it! That - and it's accurate to within 0.1 in the quartermile... and gives you dyno information ( hp and tq ) on every pass! Can even be used on the street! :wow:
Anyone have one - or have played with this model? The older ones weren't THIS advanced! :j:
G-Tech

sweet. i have the d-pic. only thing i did with it so far is a 3.6 0-60. i also kave the avic witch has a tach. never use it tho. its hard to find a place in my neighborhood to unload 550 hp.
Wow - 550HP on stock internals, tranny, and rearend! That's amazing! Is that FWHP ( without accessories ), BHP ( with accessories ), or RWHP? Ford sure builds them right! :DQuote:

Damn Sicboy, I knew you were pushing some good power, but I didn't realize you were up that high! Just like the Dodge commercial, SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!! :devil:
VERY impressive! Gotta love Ford! It's no wonder I'm a Ford Fanboi! :lol:Quote:

I hate to quote old magazine articles, but they took the original G-tech and ran it at the track, the ET's were within a tenth of each other pass after pass. The mph was different, but that was attributed to the way the track calculates trap speed versus the no shit speed the g-tech provided. Money well spent in my book.
its almost like hp is the easy part. its traction thats tricky. im workin on my irs now. then some stickeys and hopefuly some mid 10s...Quote:

I kinda want one of those but I don't know if they are worth it, or just a waste.
I hear ya - was hoping someone had used one and knew for sure before dropping $200. :nailbite: I guess I'll likely get one just so I can see it give me tach readings from the Cig lighter! :lol:
One of the guys I work with has one of the older ones for his Impala SS. He said it was worth the money. I am thiking about getting one, the price for it equals about 3 dyno sessions.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not willing to run 90/10's on a street car, nor will I give up my lowered stance for traction. I'll spend a couple grand on torque arms and panhard bars and whatever else is necessary (18x10.5's w/315's?)Quote:

Yeah I got one for christmas this year and it shows that I run 8.7s in the 1/8mile and 12.87 in the 1/4mile 0-60 time of 4.3 the only time that I can confirm is the 1/8 because I ran it at the local 1/8 strip and I ran a 8.56? something like that, they are pretty cool it tells you everything. I got the expensive version the RR road race version and I think that It is worth it. sorry im a year late on the post but I just found it. :thumpupn:
