I have a GTech Pro Competition that I would like to try, but it's asking for my vehicule weight...

Here's the description of my car if that can help:

1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z, Hard-Top, 350 TPI, automatic, 2.73 POSI disc, electrical windows/mirros/doors/hatch... It DOESN'T have AC, cruise control and power seats.

Hope some of you will be able to help me out.

See ya!

 

Dude,
How the HE DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS can we tell the weight of your car? Take it to a weigh station

 

3400 plus whatever you weigh

 

HMMMMMMMMMMM, did you account for that dead body in the trunk??? And what about all the wasp nests that have accumulated in the a&b pillars over the last 15 years? What about the extra weight of bug kill on the front bumper and windsheild?

 

DUDE like you said, their's no such stations around here. The neearest one is about 500 miles from here so it's out of question

 

Unless you live in the middle of no where PQ, there has to be a weight scale around somewhere. Garbage dumps have them. Trucking companies and truck stops have them. There's usually some along the highways.

Unless you can get an accurate weight, guessing at a weight to put into a g-tech means garbage in/garbage out.

Remember, you want total weight including driver. That's how much weight the engine has to move and that's what g-tech needs to know.

A guessing weight can be anywhere from 3200 to 3600 pounds.

 

some people are

 

i just gave him a general idea. besides as long as he always fills his tank up before he runs with the G-tech, then he can still use A/B data, as long as the weight constant is still the same. I do it all the time at my lab job, pic any arbitrary number you like as long as it's always 3400 or 3 grams or whatever you're using for calculations, then when doing mods or changing timing etc, your base "number" will be accurate, just the horsepower etc settings won't show real world dyno numbers, but that's not what that thing is really good for either way.

 

Their's no weight scale that I know of around here. Except on the highway near Montreal and like I said, it's FAR from here...

I never saw such things at the local junk yard too...

 

I would just enter in 3600 lbs. for the G-Tech.. You don't need the weight entered in for doing 0-60 and 1/4 runs. The weight is just used in calculating the wheel HP which is very unaccurate anyway because the G-tech can't acount for wind resistance. i don't even pay attention to the HP figures because it says my car has 205 at the wheels and that sounds a bit low.. The accuracy of the timing test are pretty darn close compared to a drag strip. Make sure your on a flat road...

 

What about a place that sell dirt/rock/sand? They have scales. Im sure someone in the area does. What about a scrap yard!

 

you live in a big city and they have trucks delivering everything, so just ask a trucker whose making a delivery where he weighs at...
