has anyone try using one of these : http://www.beltronics.com/fx.html
or something like a G-tec. My 4dr gsr ran a 16.1 with no launch. is it that accurate? lmk if you test one of these before

 

I've heard mixed reviews on them, if you spin too much on the launch it throws the time off. I would say they are accurate up to 2/10ths of a second in the quarter.

 

i didnt believe it cause my hatch with a gsr swap i/h/e skunk2 IM, chip ecu, ran a 13.1. I always thought my car would run low 14 or high 13 but not low 13.

 

your mad b/c ur car ran a 13.1. weird most people would be happy

I got a cheap old version of g-tec for like 40 bucks of ebay and it was extreamly accurate, they are just kinda hard to calibrate. It also had a thing that told you your 0-60 time and right when my speedo said 60 it flashed the time.

For something that just plugs into your cig. lighter i gotta say its pretty damn accurate.

no im not mad, im just saying is it accurate. My friend's hatch ran 14.5 on it with zc single cam vtec with i/h/e, and 6puck clutch. that doest seem right.

 

i don tkno much about that system, but my friend has the g tech thing. personally i think it is all a bunch of bullshit, i just dont understand how it tell weight, hp, tq, g's in a corner. all just by pluging it to your ciggerette lighter, jsut does not make sence, for if someone kno and would like to explain it to me i think they are all false, but that is just me

I have one of those beltronics version 2 from circuit city for christmas......I never really tested that thing because I was too afraid to run the whole 1/4 mile on the street not knowing a cop maybe around the corner....so Im not sure if its accurate...my buddy tested mine at the track and came out almost the same track time....I think it was a few tenths of a sec off.....I guess its not bad for something thats plugs into the cigerrette lighter
