There are several keys to using the G-tech with your car.

1. Don't take it too seriously. It's just a toy...for entertainment value.

2. You have to calibrate it correctly. This means setting the RPMs and calculating the weight accurately. I put my car on a DOT scale with me in it (as opposed to using on-line or magazine numbers that likely do not reflect my cars actual weight).

3. Above all, remember, Porsche's are not hammers (ie. dragsters), they're scalpels. If you want to go fast in a straight line there are better options. That said, if you have the G-tech Pro, check out the "g's" functionality.

Overall 6.4 is not bad but, you're right, you can probably do a little better. According to my site (see my signature) 6.0 is what the magazines (at least MT) were hitting.
