GTech Device...help with using it!
Ok....probably wrong forum section so don't go nuts on me.
Anyway,
My GF's bro has got a Gtech unit off ebay, and gave it to me last night to use, only problem is the dude has no instructions with it, he told me a few things but fucked if I could remember them, so does anyone know how to use a Gtech properly? I guess the main thing I'm interested in is the 0-60 time and the HP.
I know somewhere you gotta put in the weight of ya car in lbs and then select something else but it's kinda hard with no instructions. Anyone?

The website is www.gtechpro.com for anyone who is interested. Did a run last night.... I got 138HP. Not too bad, I guess.

...and power it
The competition unit has way more features and costs way more too. I bought one when they first realeased the competition but never could get good readings in my 7 due to what the manufacturer says is probably excessive vibrations. It's getting mounted on the kart now so I can keep track of lateral g's and brag about my 3 second 0-60 times.

I have one of the original G-Techs, and I love it. It's really helpful in shutting up people who think their car goes "0-60 in 5 seconds and runs 12's in the quarter" when all they drive is a four cylinder Eclipse with a muffler and intake. Heh.
BTW, you don't need to put in the weight for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, you just need it to determine horsepower and lateral G forces.

I have the GTECH Pro Comp (The new one) and I was trying to sell it. I've only used it once or twice. It's an awesome tool but I need the cash for other things.

The weight is used to measure horsepower. The g-tech calculates the power using distance, time and weight. You don't need the right weight to use the g-force, just to calcualte the horsepower.

You are correct, sorry for the misstatement on my part. I haven't used it in a while, and all I can remember is that to the left setting is "HP/G force" and on the right side is "0-60,60-0, and 1/4" I just assumed that whenever you pushed the button to the left, it automatically asked for weight, but it asks after you select the HP setting.
Anyways, thanks for clearing it up.
