Probably. The G-tech is pretty accurate. You'll find the ET is very close and the MPH may be slightly higher on the G-tech. A 1/4 mile MPH is calculated from the time it takes to break the beams in the last 60' of the track. The G-tech is the true MPH at the end of the 1/4 mile.

383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
454 Big Block buildup now in progress for the 2001 racing season

Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!
