Roland. I agree somewhat in that Strip time are more accurate thats why i stated cant wait to go to the strip to back up my data. On avg the G-Tech has been anywhere from as little as the .1 off as avertised to up to .6 off. Besides HP there's something else your not counting for either that could make it possible and that is Weight. The car has been lighten some 300 lbs Mostly rotating wieght since the 14.3 run. For when i go to the strip im estimating only a 14.1 - 14.3 at about 98mph. The other factors im counting in are outside Temp. and Heat soak for the IC. For the test runs i dont have either since there at night and i dont have to wait in line and after doing a burn out to heat the tires.

But since this thread is for G-Tech times. I do a 5 run avg so i dont have a one shot where the meter could have slipped down after the take off causing a false reading. As for best at the strip I've done it at 14.4 before so the 14.1 -14.3 isnt unreasonable.
