What kind of readings do you guys get with the G-Tech? I'm borrowing Shawn's (MrGone) and I can't even break 125EHP. I always thought my car felt really sluggish compared to other 3rd gen's, VG and VE.

if its cold up there that can affect the g-tech quite a bit. i used mine today and only read about 120 some odd hp power compared to my run while it was warm which was around 180. one way to be sure is to warm up the g-tech and keep the car warm then take the gtech and hold it vertical. if i reads 1 g then it should read correctly.

I am getting mine back as soon as the snow melts. I don't think I could get a good reading with snow tires on, though. In March or April, remind me and I'll run it with my regular tires on it.

I've always suspected something wrong with my car. This kinda proves it since theres no dyno within hours of here.

Well, JDM swap it is.

im telling you guys ive never had luck using the gtech to read HP

on the other hand from me and my friends using it and using the track for 1/4 time its very accurate for that.

so go do a few runs and if your in the 16's theres somthing wrong if your in the 15's and stock your fine if your heavily modded theres somthing wrong although according to your sig your not heavily modded

thats the best way to know how your cars running

When I get my car back I'll try mine for horsepower only previously used it for 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs. When I had it in my Celica I noticed my HP numbers were kinda low but I noticed it was cause the weight I entered was a bit off. Make sure you add your personal weight to the curb weight of the car otherwise you'll get lower numbers than you should.
