For those buying G Force Pro Meters off ebay
If i understand correctly, you do need the weight of the vehicle in order to use the device. Is this correct ?

We have unmanned scales here on the highways that I have used in the past on the highways. I think it was 3500 lbs with me, cargo and half a tank of fuel.

This is true for all G Force Pro Meters, whether you purchase them on ebay or not! :jester :jester :jester
It is a very clever meter that measures how quickly it is moved. Acceleration increases the "G" force on the meter. To convert that acceleration into hp, obviously the meter needs to know how much weight is being moved. It can calculate 0-60 times, 1/4 mile and mph without weight.
If you can't get to a scale, start with 3600 lbs. If your horsepower reading is too low, try 3500 lbs! :lol: MJ

I think the 82 was 3500 lbs. Assuming that is empty tank, add me at 170, misc. stuff in car, 1/2 tank of gas, and I would guess 3750 lbs.

If your horsepower reading is too low I'd try 3700 lbs.....what do you think MJ?
