->Testimony from a website:
->
->I have never had a chance (or the money) to get my car dynoed or bring it
->to the track since then, but I did purchases a G-Tech meter. For those who
->are not familar with the G-Tech, it is a meter about the size of a radar
->detector, that mounts where a radar usually does. It gives 0-60, 1/4 mile,
->60-0, lateral G's, longitudinal G's, and even Horsepower (with weight
->input) Skeptical?! Go to their website, http://www.tesla.com, and see for
->yourself. In short, its 0.2 of a second accurate, and 2-3 horsepower
->accurate. This shit is for real and works on any car. Of course,
->horsepower is wheel hp, not flywheel. After going to a truckers weigh
->station, getting my car weighed (2550 lbs), I entered the numbers into the
->unit and gave it a whirl. On an average of about 5 runs, my wheel
->horsepower was 119hp, which, at a driveline loss of about 12.5% is good
->for 140hp. Now this is more like what my horsepower should be, after an
->exhaust, fuel enrichment, intake, and intake cam. 17 hp is good for me,
->for now. Anyone who has used the G-Tech, including Car and Driver, Road
->and Track, and Motor Trend, happily endorse it. It is well worth the $139.
->Next was a 1/4 mile run. With a near-full tank of gas the best I ran was
->low 16's, about 16.2. Considering the difference between a full tank of
->gas and about 1/4 to an 1/8 (what I would run at the track) is about 100
->pounds, and I had even my toolbox in my trunk along with a few gallons of
->water, I expect to run 15.5 the next time I save money to race. I also
->have the wrong size tires on my car right now, 205/65-14's, stock is
->205/55. Kinda hurts too, I should drop 0.3 second alone by getting the
->right size tires. It's about right, my friends 97 Integra GS-R (170 hp +
->exhuast) and I are pretty much neck and neck. Now, where's that 2.0l
->bottom end that will bring me to 160hp?! :) It's called a VR6 eater, 160hp
->in a car that weighs less than 2300lbs, and revs almost twice as fast. Do
->the math.
