View Full Version : Messing around with the G-tech some

Got really bored last night so I took the truck out of the city to some nice quiet smooth roads and hooked up my old g-tech meter. I find it reads a 10th slower in the 0-60 and 1/4mile then my actual times, and the mph is about 2 higher then it should.

Keep in mind I am 2300ft elevation so my times are all much slower then they should be.

0-60 6.22
1/4mile 14.43@96.7mph

At sea level that would be a 5.8-5.9 0-60 and a 13.9 1/4mile. :)

The best part is I still had everything on the truck, tailgate, spare, sway bar, and 3/4tank of fuel, compared to all of that gone and a 1/4tank for my 14.59 run last year before the cam, lowering kit, new rims and shift kit.

Track opens in two weeks, can't wait to get some real numbers. :)

Well no runs for me quite so soon. Fixed my Y pipe and got 8hp 7lbs more on the dyno, but I dropped from an average of 13.0 a/f to 13.8 to 14.0 which is getting lean. I don't want to risk any damage so the truck sits waiting for a fix.

I have a IAT mod on the way, and am shopping around for 180 stat to see if that will help. If that doesn't work I'll get a wideband installed to see what it is really doing. I got a price on a 04 fuel pump and gas tank if it is indeed running lean, but they want a retarded amount of money for them from the dealer. Worse case I'll just get the pump and "make" it fit the tank. If that doesn't work, then it's possibly a fuel regulator, or 6.1L injectors, though if I need to do all that I might as well get a smt-6 and fix it properly. ;)
