5.3_RCStepside

I was wondering if you guys and gals could help me out. What is the difference between these two g-techs and is the cheaper one good or should i try and get the newer one. There seems to be a big difference in price.

Cheaper G tech

2nd G tech

I can see that the looks are different but was wondering if the first one will perform just as good as the 2nd or if there was a problem with the first ones. Thanks in Advance for your help.

Typically you get what you pay for. I bought the cheaper one and have been happy with it. I am using it for mostly 0-60 times to benchmark my mods and improve my launch. It is working fine for that application. Plus it was only $39.

Thanks. I found some more info on them doing a google search. I think I am going to try and get the SS version. I found it for 150 or so on some reandom site.

The cheap older unit is much more inaccurate than the newer more expensive unit. I ditched my old one for a G-Timer. MUCH better IMO.

This looks like a two axis sytem as the first g techs were. Do you have to worry about the rise or fall in elivation or is the effects of elivation difference have minimal effect on the readings. (I.E just look for a road that seems lvl)

You basically have to find a level road. I thought the newest G-Tech worked the same way?

IMO I would work with a level surface anyway. Anytime you have to rely on more math to get a good estimate there is mor room for error.

On avgerage it is pretty damned accurate. I ran it at the track one night and it was .12 10ths fast and .7mph fast. Not bad considering I don't have the upper model which allows you to increase roll out time since these meters and the track measure ET differently. I was told to be truely accurate I would have to deep stage which reduces roll time.

The new g techs are 3 axis positioning but what i was really referring to was would the postion of the timer have to be perfect in order for it to work accuratly. A 3 axis unit seems easier to set up but I have no clue I am just gathering info. I said elivation but could get my brain to think of what i was wanting to ask hehe. thanks you have helped a lot.

Ohh, I get what you mean now... The position of the timer itself...

The G-Timer doesn't have to be perfectly level or ZEROED out like the old G-Tech did. You just stick it to your windshield, hit the buttong and when it says go, you go. Very simple and less like to fudge the #s by making it unlevel some people used to do.
