G tech's ... for cheap

zmanrc · #1 03-21-2005, 04:45 AM

I have always wanted one of these but never wanted to cough up the $139 for one. Since the new ones have come out, G tech is selling off the old model on Ebay.
New in the box for $26.95 plus $6.55 shipping !!!

I bought one on the 16th and it came on the 19th.
Went out and played with it tonight.
My truck has the 270hp 4.8 motor. Figuring about a 15% drivtrain loss would put it at 220-230hp at the wheels. Close approx weight of 5008lbs for the truck, plus 420lbs for my son and I, plus about 80lbs for 1/2 tank of gas came to 5500 pounds. Input that, push the button and GO. 5 pulls, throw out the high and low. The other 3 were 216hp, 224hp and 226hp.
Seems pretty close
Also did 3 quarter mile runs. All 3 were 16.6-16.8 seconds and 84-86 mph.
Lot of fun for $33

Can't wait for warmer weather to get the Camaro's out!!!
