From reading the instructions I came up with a total weight of 3,710lbs. Should it be higher or lower. Trying to get base line numbers to compare to future mods.

door panel

Try checking the inside door sill. There is a metal plate there with some weight specs in both metric and english standards, I've seen it on my car but I don't know if you still have it on yours ( I don't have a G-tech so I don't know how accurate you can get with the device) Tell me if the G-tech is worth the money or accurate as far as your car goes.

Just do about +/- 50lbs of the curb weight listed for your car. At the track I weighed my maxima and it was 3210lb without driver and 3355lb with driver. I believe you should try around 3350-3400lb.

From reading the instructions

It said to take the GVW (which is usually fully loaded, 5 passengers, etc.) and minus 180lbs for each passenger that isn't there. From doing this I came up with my weight 3,710lbs. Does the GVW include a full gas tank, I think so. If so, it just so happen that I had a full tank when I did a initial run. Primeevil, I have yet to have an opinion on the G-Tech pro. Kinda hard to find a level road out here without the worry of getting busted. But if you're the type that likes to mod and curious of the outcome, why not.

i use 3360
or just 3300, sometimes 3160, i cant quite remember
generally i use anything between 3100-3300, just because its easier, remember, the lower the weigh the worse times youll get. which is good because youll be happier on the track.
i actually dont use it much anymore, when i use it for serious accurate times i use the exact weight and run the same street to keep it all fair.
