But i will have to say ive let my friend that owns a 1998 Formala w/ only exhaust bolt-on and ran within 2 tenths of what it should run (he tried 3 times). My other friend has a 4.3 chevy ss truck and he does have slips that say 15.9 and 16.1, the g-tech gave him 16.3 and 15.9. Awful close if you ask me (not the mph, ill agree w/ you on that one). My cousin also owns one and hes running a 2000 GSR w/ headers exhaust, ignition, cold air(box) and runs a 15.1-15.3 on his g-tech. Kinda close. I will have to say i usually dont quote the mph, i really shouldnt have. Ill take it off, cool. But not the time, im convinced along w/ other motor heads around here what i run on the 1/4 mile. Truthfully, until this spring when Kilcare opens and i run for slips i wont have great info. Just word of mouth for now.


insomniac ... i knew gtech times when i see em....

what i dont get is that my jeep runs (I THINK ABOUT 16.0 @ best) and gtech quoted me with 3 people in it doing 15.4@99mph my speedo said 79mph and it clicked off 60mph when my speedo was at 48mph... i find that hard to believe

but on the lighter note i do hear you because some of my friends have used it and its DEAD NUTS ON! one on a saab @19.9 (LOL!)
and one on a 302 4 barrel torino @18.3 (LOL) ITS ALL ABOUT CENTERING IT and the level of the road.... i bet yours was on a downhill (no mean to make fun) but i picture your car a bit quicker than the svt's i bet you will do low 15's high 14's and the mph will be around MID 90 at best without spray! with spray you can hope for low 14's but the mph will hover near triple digits...

BEST OF LUCK
