(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Received the g-tech meter on Friday, just 2 days from order for $50.00. Thanks for the link.
Ok, I can brake at .96 G's, accelerate at .31 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) turn at over 1.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) .. What can you do?????? I know you 6 boys will have me in acceleration...but..... I am running falken azenis 205.50.15's at 28# on all 4 corners.....175 # rear springs, 23mm front bars and both sway bars.... Lets see what you got!!! herb |

QUOTE(ss6 @ Oct 13 2003, 05:58 AM) Guys, I'm curious - what is the G-tech really good for? How does knowing acceleration improve your tuning or driving (road course, not burn-outs)? as with all instruments, Step Zero is establish a baseline. then, after each change, re-run and compare to baseline conditions. if things get worse, un-do what you did and see if you're back on the baseline. (if not, you perturbed something else...) if yes, the change you made was not effective. can you pull more g's through a corner with more or less tire pressure? tighter or looser antiroll bar settings. softer or stiffer damper settings ? i don't find the braking number very helpful unless you're fiddling with brake bias. the accel number of course helps you determine if that jetting, or timing, or air filter change really netted you a measurable performance improvement. (assuming all the other variables - like temperature, humidity, fuel load, driver weight... - remained constant too... |
