Does anyone know,or have a link to the figures for 94 3.4l v6 and a z28.. Just interested, were abouts my v6 would be I played about with a G-tech (which are supposed to be rubbish anyway) And it came up with 17.45secs on the 1/4, 8.9 secs 0-60, 164bhp! After a couple of days the G-tech fell off the window,hit the shifter and now does not even switch on! Probably the best thing for it!

thanks for that, amazing what info you can gain from this forum! Brilliant link, is there a reliable way Ican checkmy performace without having to embaress myself on the drag strip?!! surly I should be better than 16.6 with making my engine breath?? G-tech every one says inacurate, is there a good option? thanks again, brilliant link!

I beg to differ. G-techs can be very accurate. I ran mine several times at the strip along with the strip timers. The ET was always witin a tenth in ET. It was the MPH that read a little high on the g-tech. If dialed in properly, your ET from the G-tech is on the money. The part where g-techs are rubbish is the fact that it fried. I had a couple of them do that. Now I have a bell tech vector. Better readouts and more durable.

Cheers joe, ill HAVE A look at bell, yer g-tech seem very temperemental! they dont like falling thats for sure!

I even had one fry right in my own hand and I didn't even drop it! I turned it on, the numbers lit up and then...... bzzt. G-tech's quality bites. My vector really outshines the g-tech pro. It even gives stuff like 60' times and such. Clever device. Damned accurate too.

About how much do the Vectors run, Joe? I was interested in a G-Tech until I read this.

Thanks.

I second G-tech's accuracy. When bone stock, I tested 0-60 and got 5.4, which is really close to stock. When it becomes inaccurate is when going up or down hills. It throws off the G-forces and gives screwy numbers. Don't forget, the hp numbers are rear wheel, and should be measured in a lower gear. Even then, 164 hp isn't bad...that equates to ~200 flywheel horsepower. Isn't it supposed to be 168 stock?
However, mine didn't fry...rather, I let a "friend" borrow it, and he never returned it

that really bugs me when u lend something and it dont come back so by your reconing i got 32bhp from putting on headers catback and k&n? is that about right or is that impossible?

I'm not quite sure how the 3.4 responds to mods, but I'm guessing thats a pretty good number. How do you know the car's weight? Do you have to enter that to get the estimated RWHP?

The cars mass is on the inside of my drivers door, put that into the g- tech, hammer car throught 1 2 gear and hey presto a bhp number!

The "mass" shown on the door sticker is not the weight of the vehicle, as typically driven on the street of "raced". That's the gross loaded weight with a full complement of passengers and a load in the trunk.

Look at the table at the bottom of this page for factory weights. Then add your weight and any unusual items that you may have in the car.

I seem to recall $100 new? Can't exactly recall on that one. There are two models, one that will store and download multiple runs to a computer and the base one that I have which has no download capability. From personal experience, this unit is way better quality than a g-tech pro.
