Default Race weight

It's very important when using the G-Tech for rwhp measurement to get the correct weight entered. Your car may weigh more than you think. Take it to a metal salvage co. and pay the $5 to get it weighed. When I did mine they did it:

1.) car alone
2.) car + me
3.) front axle
4.) rear axle

All for $5. You want the weight for the car with you in it for the test weight for the G-Tech. If you put in too low of a weight, it will say less rwhp. If the 245 rwhp is correct, you still have about 300 net flywheel SAE hp. Not really too bad.
