Has anyone tried this little gadget? I am thinking about getting one, but I was wanting to know if anyone has used this. I have heard the older G-Tech worked great and was pretty darn close to the dyno #s.<br><br>http://www.gtechpro.com

 

I have the old G-tech and it was within 5 hp of my dyno run on a Mustang 1750. The interesting thing is that if you use the online HP calculators based on ET then all 3 were within 10hp.

The new pro comp even has a shift light, torque readings, to much too list.

 

I have not run on a dynojet so I can not compare those. The new ones are sweeeet. ;D

 

Its funny this topic came up. I have an &quot;old&quot; style G-tech sitting in my truck right now, I just borrowed it tonight from a friend and I am planning on trying it out tomorrow to see how it compares to the runs I did at the strip.<br><br>John<br><br>

 

Make several passes to get the best average. Make sure its a smooth road.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I think I'll have to get me one! 8)<br><br>It senses RPMS via voltage changes! 8)

 

I've owned a Gtech Pro for a couple of years now, but it is hard to use, adjust, and the road is supposed to level for accurate readings.

Here's a much better computer for not much more money. http://www.tazzo.com/tazzo/tazmnt.HTM

It is self leveling and is able to give hp readings without going thru the whole quarter mile. You can program it to give a hp reading in just one gear so that gear shifts don't foul up the readings.

Everywhere I have looked has it for 250 bucks.<br><br>Bart, are you seeing pretty accurate readings in tq and hp? I can see how in between shifts can throw it off.

 

You don't have to run the 1/4 with the G-tech.

I'd be interested in learning more real-world use on that unit. I agree with what you said about the G-Tech Pro, and that's why I'm asking. I might just upgrade.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Chris

 

Stamey,<br><br>I haven't tried one yet, but if you poke around their site a bit you'll find some comparisons with other computers, including the Gtech Comp. Not having to level it and it's ability to compensate for non level roads sure makes it appealing to me.

 

I have one of the Gtech pro copms, and am not all that happy with it. Initially It worked pretty well, and I was happy, but back in December, Gtech released their firmware upgrade to add some features and fix a few problems. Thinking that improvements would be good, I downloaded into my unit, and haven't been too happy with it since. First of all, they removed the option to download the last stored run into excel or other spreadsheep program. The company, Tesla, has been promissing to have the PC software available since Christmas. Every couple months they change the release date on there website. Pisses me off. I understand there are delays associated in the development of any hardware or software product, but this is getting a little rediculous. Just my $.02<br>Mark<br>

The reviews are what convinced me to try it. I'll be looking for reviews now.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Chris
