Actually, My SVX isn't all that slow....
I guess I just have a very fast Suburban. After reading all the post about G-Tech I went out and bought one. After 6 passes the G-tech averaged my SVX out and 0-60 7.6 seconds and 1/4 mile 15.6. Considering that the only modification I have done to it is a K&N Filter I'd say that's pretty good. These passes were also done with a full tank of gas in extra humid weather.
One problem though. The Horsepower #'s are way off. According to the G-tech, I'm only putting out 145 Hp. That's WAAY off from 230. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem or did I do something wrong. I put a weight in that included my actual body weight and the weight of the gas. 18 gallons x 5 lbs per gallon equals 90 rounded up to 100. My weight 280 (Yes, I gotta few pounds on the frame). Vehicle weight 3560 + 100 + 300 = 3960. Isn't that the way to do it? |

Just curious, was that a brake launch or an idle launch?

Apparently you didn't read my post:
Look, Automatic transmissions suck more power than manuals. Manuals are more efficient, so thats one strike against the SVX right there. SECONDLY, and more importantly, the SVX is AWD, which means that it has a LOT of parasitic loss through the drivetrain. AWD cars generally lose up to about 1/3 of their power through the drivetrain. - Rob |
