gtech~!!!!! he said he has a gtech. thats the 2nd time somebody told me he dont have a dyno, but he clearly said many times he has a gtech...sure they aint 100% accurate, but it gives more accuracy them some hot head idiot thinking he's pushing 200whp (like me- im that hot head idiot) lol

OK, finally got some runs with the G-Tech. Found out some things about the G-Tech that answers why it's notoriously inaccurate. One is that you need a VERY flat road and the unit must be facing perfectly forward otherwise vector readings will be off. All things considered, there's too many variables when operating these things. But, it's just a tool and I can at least see CHANGES in numbers so I know I'm doing something right. I highly doubt the numbers themselves are accurate but at least there's an improvement.
Bone stock RA automatic average 0-60mph: 9.23 sec
RA with mods to date 0-60mph: 8.15 sec
I know, I know the numbers suck! But I don't think you can take the numbers by themselves as accurate. The only thing I'm taking from this is that there has been a decrease in 0-60 times. For some reason I couldn't get the 1/4 mile times to work. Probably why these things were on sale and they have a new model out now! But there's the numbers, glean from it what you may!

I wouldn't recommend buying one of the new model G-Techs, too much $$$ for what they are. They had these older models for sale for around $60. Check on the internet. Oh yeah, I also did a HP reading with the G-Tech. Are you ready for this? It said 110 hp. Hahaha! Yeah,right!! I dunno, maybe the newer models are more accurate but last time I checked they were over $200US !!

Yes I've seen plenty of them

I'm glad I need a turbo to beat those times. Remarkable acceleration times, huh?

No, I actually forgot to include myself in the wt of the car. I really wasn't expecting accurate readings anyway from a G-Tech. Some day I'll make it down to Tampa and get it dyno'd.

My brother have a 99' Cougar with v/6 and dual exhaust and when he drove my ra the first time he was impressed with the power of the ra. Well we finally ran and he never caught me.The V/6 Cougar comes wth 155hp aproximately .Its have a very good grip on the turns. I have run my ra all the way up to the reset button on the cluster so I cannot guess the speed but the reset button is so far from 130mph mark to be only 132mph!

I don't want to spend any more time arguing this point. All my schooling and experience tell me NO!! Nuff said.
Killah, thanks! Maybe I'll try to find them sometime and get some tuning done.
A better idea is try your ra all the way u can (if you have the guts)and see how far you go!
