my understanding is that the original one calculates the HP from the estimated 1/4 mile time.
i would not be confident that the G-tech is sensitive enough to measure the acceleration properly while you are babying it thru the gears... the calibration of the G-tech (original one) is such that when it is measuring 1G (ie tilted), it reads between 0.96 and 1.04G, os it aint that crash hot..
if you are really concerned, take the damn thing for a run, and check yourself...
do a standing start, and then do a 4th gear start..
also remember that it gives a HP that doesn't really mean anything... it doesn't give you a graph (maybe the comp one does)
so the actual number is mor elike a 'mean hp' figure, which is what is usually calculated from 1/4 mile runs....
or you could ask on the G-tech forum on their site.. surely that would have been a better place to ask than here?
Cya, Stewart
