GTECH reads VTEC

Ok... this is the first time I ever ran on the clock. I borrowed my friends Gtech and ran my car out on an open empty road (one of the many in IN). He says the times are pretty accurate, he's matched the device with in hundreths of track times (running the Gtech in car while at the track) so I believe that they're good. For reference, he has a 91 Firebird swapped with a GM 406 ci, LT1 manifold, custom everything and a 150 shot, he's serious, and the car runs in the low 12's. I didn't do too bad considering it was the first time I did this. I found it was very easy to spin the stock Firestones (as the first run will tell you), but once I got the hang of it, I did pretty good.
Equipment: 2002 Civic EX, 5spd.
Injen CAI
00 Si Rims on stock Firestone F690 tires (185/65/15)
87 Octane Phillips 66 pump gas (1/2 tank)

Now I have to find a track and take a run at it officially.

0-60 | 8.8 | 7.9 | 8.25
1/4 mi |16.95 | 16.16 | 16.25

The Gtech does not accurately record 1/4 mile speed, so I didn't post it. It only records the speed at 1320 feet, not the average of the last 60 feet.

Edit... Trying to get the times lined up vertically, cant get it to go.

ill never trust the GTECH with its flawed inertia sensing processor.
