Default G-TECH

i dynoed my car on the G-TECH last night just for fun and I pulled 153hp 3 times!
i mean are g-tech somewhat accurate? i have a vafc that was tuned with no bolt ons, basically stock tuning. well 3 months later, i've installed proflow throttle body, t1r tespipe, and an AEM filter in stock box. Just wondering will this decrease my power? since i have the vafc tuned when it was bone stock. but i didnt get it tuned when i installed these items. is it possible that i can be losing power? My friend's 350Z pulled 242 twice on the g-tech, so i thought it seemed pretty accurate... thanks.

How accurately did you input your cars gross weight? How do you know the weight?

I have the Gtech. Weight is the big factor. You have to factor in gas, stereo equipment, your weight, etc. Don't forget about weather. Hotter temps and altitude can play a factor as well.

Go to a Flying J and get your vehicle weighed.

Yeah, 2850 is with fluids and half a tank of fuel IIRC. Add yourself. Add 50 lbs. for other things like stereo equipment, books for college, another 175 or so for your buddy that's in the passenger seat.
