Add the weight of the Z28 curb weight and all the accessories that your cars has. Once you do that, subtract about 25lbs and you are close enough for a G-Tech.

Good luck.

I'm not sure how it totally works, but it measures the spark pulse (rpm) and it also measure the g-force in your car. They are close to being accurate and the 1/4 mile times are within .2 on the times. We have tried the first model on a couple different cars just to see and all of them were close...

The L98 weighs in slightly over 80-90lbs more than the 5.0 with 5-speed, I can't find the actual weight though. You might have to find a weight station and just weight your car.
