How accurate are they? Do you have to calibrate them for every car ie weight etc? Or are they a plug and play device that u can readily swap from car to car with out adjustments.

thanks you.

they can be fairly accurate only if you're on a totally flat and level surface. I tried using it at calder and got roughly the same times as the official timing. You only have to calibrate the level, unless you trying to calculate HP, then you have to input weight ect

they are pretty accurate to drag strip times on level surfaces, and more importantly if you always run on the same strip then the times are consistent and comparable

You just stick it to the windscreen, level it off and away you go

how much and where can u get these gtech meter things from???

**aimre** · 03-09-2005 12:45 PM

the old ones are .5 sec accurate (ther like $50 from ebay and thats all they do)
all they do is HP and 1.4 mile

the new ones are 0.01 accurate,
RPM and shiftlights
RPMs and Shiftlights we are particularly proud of. We have invented this technology. No one in the world can pick-up RPMs from the cigarette lighter. Yes, MSD ignitions and even diesels work!

Handling Gs
G-TECH/Pro SS model has a unique new G-arrow that shows you the direction of the Gs that you are pulling and new large G numbers that are easy to read at a glance.

Record up to 30 runs
With the new friendly icon-based user interface you can chose and review any of your runs in a matter of a couple of button clicks.

3 precision sensors
We are the only G-meter that has x, y and z precision accelerometers. This improves accuracy and consistency. It also allows you to orient the G-TECH/Pro any way you like.

0-60 & 0-100-0mph
0-60 mph is another standard measurement with the new 0-100-0mph becoming increasingly more popular with the magazines.

1/8th & 1/4 mile
Oldies but goodies. These two measurements are what has made G-TECH a household name with car enthusiasts all over the world.

Horsepower
G-TECH/Pro will give you accurate horesepower ratings for your car before and after modification. It's a great way to see if you are making the right improvements.

Torque
With the revolutionary new RPM pickup right from the cigarette lighter we are able to measure Torque and display a DYNO-plot graph. We are the only people in the world to do this at this time.

60 ft. time
60ft time is a new measurement which helps with determining if your car is "hookin'-up" or not.

Road Racing/Autocross
RR stands for Road Racer. It has all of the features of the SS model plus Road Racing/Autocross mode in which you can record and replay your Gs and RPMs for a given practice or race session.

PASS Software
PASS - Performance Analysis System Software. It can be used for replaying and comparing 1/4 mile runs or for replaying Road Race/Autocross sessions. It even replays engine sound based on recorded RPMs.

Permanent Mount
RR model comes with the Permanent Mount which allows you to permanently mount the G-TECH/Pro anywhere in your car. The unit itself can still be taken out of its cradle.

AC Adapter
RR model comes with the AC Adapter so you can power the unit while you are downloading the runs/sessions to your PC.

PC Download Cable
RR model comes with the PC Download Cable that is used to quickly hook-up to your PC and download all your runs and sessions.

2 hour data acquisition
RR model comes with 2 Megs of FLASH. This is enough to store over two hours of Road Racing/Autocross sessions (10 Hz recording.) That's more than full-blown data-acquisition systems costing thousands!

Multiple vehicle support
With the RR model you can memorize settings for up to 4 cars and jump from one to another in a matter of seconds. Some guys get the extra brackets for each car so moving the G-TECH from one car to another is really a snap.
