Mine is a G-Timer made by Escort. It's the exact same as the G-Tech tho, measures in the same way.

Do the SS springs still come with a kidney belt?

I have no idea, he had someone else purchase them and put them on, I still have yet to see them myself.[sm=smiley2.gif]

I will use it in my SRT-4, but I will wait until I get another pass down the track to test it out for accuracy. I have done a few little things since my previous time out and hopefully I can get my 60' down to where it should be as well as my 1/4 times. I only ran a few times and never got the launch down right which is what was killing my times Maybe now with the G Tech I can perfect the launch finally.

Don't forget to weigh your car. I quit using my G-Tech until I can get a weight on the car.

R/T .522
60 2.221
330 6.303
1/8 9.658
MPH 72.06
1000 12.662
1/4 15.169
MPH 90.91

no track prep whatsoever but I'm sure I'm slower now with the 47lbs rim/tire combo I'm running vs. stock 40lbs rim/tires

Was this a titan truck? That's not bad at all.

I never would have figured they weighed that much. A regular SE Neon weighs around 2600# doesn't it?

You weight it. They usually have a scale at the drag strip. Unfortunately the one I go to the scale never is working. I'd be interested to see how much my car weighs when I strip the interior down with just me sitting in there. I'm aiming for about a 15.4-15.8 @88-90mph by the end of summer. With not a whole lot of mods, my biggest mod will be my tires. I get no traction at the track and my low end is hurting, if I can get off the line better I'll be golden. If I can get just a little bit more top end that would help as well...but I've already picked up on the top end over stock pretty well, I just need to get off the line better.
