It was turned out really great and I only have two problems to iron out. One being that the idle doesn't come down for a long time after giving it gas a lot.. Takes several seconds of a very high idle to come back down to the 1000 mark... and my front tank fuel pump seems to not function correctly, kind of lopes at idle and surges, but the back tank doesn't... Plus I need to take it in for a recall cause when I use the back tank part of the gas goes into the front tank... 93 F-150 4x4, sc, sb, 351 88 F-150 2wd, 302, lb (Totaled) 66 Fastback Mustang 96 Convertible Mustang ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 03:01:15 -0500 From: J Cope <88biixlt Subject: Re: g-tech anyone? I borrowed one from a friend of mine, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever played with. It seemed really accurate with things like 0-60 time, 1/4 mile time and speed, braking distance and lateral g's, provided you were on a flat, level surface. The only time it got sketchy was when you tried to measure horsepower, because you had to enter the vehicle weight. If you weren't really accurate (ie: +/- 15 lbs) you could get really inaccurate numbers. I'm looking to get one as soon as I have the funds. I would love to take a few readings, change something (ie: add a K&N) and test it again. Really an interesting piece of equipment.
