FalconPilot Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Anyone (other than me) used a G-tech. I do not have a timed strip to check it against, but it seems to work to evaulate if a perticular widjit works. Check out my times in the "anyone have any e/t's) post and tell me if they look in the ball park. They check out with the Car and Driver numbers, but i know that some of the mags use the G-Tech. (don't know if car and driver does) Thanks Chad here are the #s if you don't want to go to the other post Stock 2003 SS, all options but block heater, on star, and auto climate controle. Only added accessory, Ryno Lining Weight, (-) driver, (+) full fuel 5280lb All calculations are with a G-Tech on a flat dry runway at 980' above sealevel Truck had 530 miles on her, tailgate down, trany temp 150 deg F Atmospheric conditions: Temp, 53deg F, 95 % humidity, 30.06"hg barometric pressure 0-60-----------------1/4 mile time-------------speed------------remarks 6.86--------------------15.32---------------------91.5----------1 passenger 6.62--------------------15.11---------------------92.8------lost passenger (got scared) 6.74--------------------15.27---------------------91.0 TOW MODE ON 6.88--------------------15.38---------------------90.2 7.07--------------------15.46---------------------90.4 TOW OFF, (CHECK RUN) 6.99--------------------15.43---------------------90.4 POWER BREAKING to scared to look ----15.17---------------------91.4 Remarks: all runs were consecutive. no cool down time tow mode makes no difference power breaking works! Gets slow as she gets hot All runs done on a 4500' long active airport runway in upstate NY. an S-10 with lots of boltons gives about the same times. Have not tried this truck yet, but, The S-10 will go 0-105-0 in the 4500'. A 2000 Honda VTR-1000 Superhawk will do the same but top out at 140. A Dassault Falcon 900 EX(my choice mode of transportation) will go 0-120-0 in the same distance, but at 45,000lb! (and will go 3000 miles in 7 hours with out a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_the_builder Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Sorry but i don't know to much about cars, as my mine describes I am a builder rather then a mechanic. I was wondering if you could explan alittle what power braking is and if your on the strip to get your best times do you just slame on the gas pedal or do you constantly push furhter down until you have the pedal all the way down. If you could help me out that woudl be great. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 lost passenger (got scared) The 1/4 mile times sound about right. I did 15.339 stock. The observation of poorer performance with increasing heat buildup is what I observed also. My first run, was my best run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconPilot Posted May 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Bob, on all my times, save the last, I used my right foot on the brake. When I deciede to go, I took my right foot off the brake and stood, HARD on the accelorator. For my last time, I used my left foot on the brake, stood hard on the accelorator with my right foot. This revved the engine up to the stall speed of the torque converter. When I wanted to go, I took my left foot off the break and kept my right foot somewhere in the neighborhood of the far side of the firewall. That is what I call power breaking. Putting the power on, while the brakes are on. hope this helps Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look hard enough, you can find a thread with posted info about it! Justin Thanks for the info! Tried to do a search and came up with nothing. If anyone comes up with some good data, I would be very interested. The only strips around here are 1/8 mile, so I have no place to do the testing.
