g-tech question
i assume that the actual results the g-tech spits out are not going to be totally accurate. but is it consistent? at least that way, i could use it for before/after mods and benchmarks.
i should be getting one for my bfg tires i just ordered today.

For time and horsepower measurements it's accurate enough for what I use it for. Supposedly, your trap speed on the 1/4 is the only thing that will be noticeable. It uses a different method of calculating your speed, so you need to add or subtract a few mph. It will also give you lower peak horsepower/torque numbers than a dyno. It includes wind resistance, but you also get cooler air and a little bit of ram-air effect that you wouldn't see on a dyno. It's great for before/after runs, because you only care about the difference between the two runs. I haven't tried it for lateral g's, so let me know what results you get.

i'll let you know my numbers when i get a chance to use the g-tech. i'm curious to see if the difference in our numbers is roughly the difference in the magazine numbers for 5sp and auto (assuming intakes perform about the same).
Dyno plot says I have the most area under the Administrator curve

that's what G-tech's are best for
...relative measurements.
They'll never give you 100% accurate ABSOLUTE measurements, but they will give you good relative measurements as long as you use it the same way and over the same stretch of ground.
When my Accord V6 was stock it would do 0-60 in 7.4x/7.8x (or something like that, forget exactly - have it written down on my Palm Pilot somewhere) going in both directions on a certain stretch of road.
With my AEM CAI and Denso Iridium's it'll now do 7.2x/7.6x runs on the same stretch of road under IDENTICAL weather conditions. So while I know the absolute values it's giving me might not be totally accurate, but the relative measurements are probably pretty accurate. So whatever the absolute 0-60 for my car is, with my mods I seemed to have gained about 0.2s or thereabouts, which seems about right for 10-15 fwhp gains.
