RE: Disappointed in my Gtech

Your GTECH is probably further off than you think.  I am assuming that you 
got the 3760 lbs. weight from sticker on the inside door panel.  This is 
the gross vehicle weight, which means it is the weight of the car under a 
full load (passengers and luggage).  The curb weight of the car is more 
like 2950 lbs.  Add in how much you weigh and try it again.

Ok, I have done this 12 times all in a row. Same road same flat surface. I
lost my instructions to the Gtech so I forget really what all the flashing
numbers mean however, my Avg Horsepower or whatever keeps saying 194-196.
Is this possible? I set my weight at 3760 for the car. I only have a Intake 
and Garrett chip.. Everything else is stock? Hrm.. I just don't think the
horses can be increased by such a dramatic amount with only those mods..
Anyone have personal experiences with the GTECH? Btw, it says my 0-60 5.4
which I sure as hell don't believe.. I haven't jumped on a Dyno or raceway
yet so no real time comparisons..


NW DRIVE INFO: We should grab some dyno time up in Redmond, I think some
shop has a dyno up there.. $35 a car..
