Gtimer 2 with software
Does the gtimer 2 software plot your horsepower on a graph with rpms similar to how a dyno does? If so can you post up some screen captures?
It can calculate HP but you have to input a lot of your cars data so it isn't very accurate. Don't know about the graph. I do know that it asks like 10 things about your car and it's performance to do the calculation if you mess one up it will thorw of the numbers bigtime. It told me my car had 115 HP and i really tried to put in good data. I drive an SUV so it is possible that it don't work aswell for large cars.
But the other features of the Gtimmer work well and are cool.
The display isn't really a graph unless you connect it to a laptop. I think they have a cable to connect them on the GT2.
I have two GT1's new in the box (NIB) if your interested.

Ordered mine from Roy, coming in FridayCan't wait to finally have some real 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers(better than my estimates from videos :P )
I thought you only had to enter in your car weight to get the HP. I'll have to wait and see
how could it plant the HP on a line (Power curve)....... it only crunches number based on the settings and g forces through the run
it has no connection to the engine so theres NO WAY it can tell revs
oh and ELVATO.... how much did you pay for it from Roy???
50+shipping for a GT1.Originally Posted by Arashi666
Apparently,
So maybe it uses the car's weight that you enter and the time it took that weight and somehow puts it in? I don't know..... :?
OK so heres how HP really works
HP is a derivative of Torque, revs, and the engine's ability to breathe through the rev range
weight is only factored in on this unit because it has no way of measuring anything off the wheels or anything related to the powertrain for that matter, so it has to rely on the G force data it's receiving, thats it.......... thus I dont rely on it for HP, i'll take it to a Dyno for that...... I use it for times and all that, because its pretty accurate in obtaining those, AND is still a good basis for comparison after installing parts and what not
that and nowhere in your equasion does it mention weight... only Force and Time to derive power
so you only ogt a GT1....... I see I thought you were getting a GT2, hell I didnt know Roy sold GTG1s except in his little special sales...... I might have to PM him about gettin 1 for my brother for his B-day......... He's DEFINATELY not worth a GT2
LOL, that's mean :POK so heres how HP really works

I PMed him cuz I remember he posted here along time ago that he had a couple somewhere.
I'm sure the HP rating is not accurate, but I think it is better than nothing when you can't go to a dynoBut yea, I would rely more on the various times my car could do, than the GT1's HP estimate.
thats what is says but the HP is not accurate....I only use mine for the 0-60 1/4 and G-meterOrdered mine from Roy, coming in Friday

The G-tech timer uses the waves from your alternator and converts them into RPM's. It does this right through the cigarette lighter plug.
