The Gtech starts timing based on vehicle movement, and the track starts timing at an absolute position on the track. Read this document to understand the effects of rollout and why matching the Gtech results to timeslip numbers is not too meaningful. Another factor is vehicle pitch during acceleration and shifting. Consult your product’s manual about adjusting the Gtech’s Pitch Correction Factor to “dial in” your results.
