It's interesting how the "other brand" cars always react better to mods. Strange when I owned other brands the grass was always greener with the "other brands." The mods were cheaper and produced more hp! lol!!!

when i had the celica i would always think man those Nissan guys are pulling hp outta their @$$ now that i am a nissan guy i see the honda guys pulling hp outta nowhere. it will always be like this, even if you get a corvette you will be like damn that viper is pulling out crazy hp. Envy is everlasting its human nature to never be satisfied, but yea not all the bolt-ons good for a DD for example Test pipes i cant run them because i am nto a fan of the noise, smell, and not being street legal.

Invest in some lightweight rims and tires. Start unlocking wheel horsepower by starting with the wheels themselves. 
Lighter tires and rims can make a large difference in power.

Should a larger heavier wheel be equal to a smaller lighter wheel....might want to listen to yourself before bashing what most people already know about wheel/tire/rotor/flywheel/pulley/drive shaft upgrades
Weight takes power to rotate
You cant "confuse" a dyno anyway....it translates power exerted....wheelspin can play a role in bad numbers but lighter wheels and tires will ramp quicker which means more power is being generated aka the lighter wheel and tire combo "should" accelerate better all else being equal (tires, contact patch etc..)

Old bump, but: I don't know the affects of lightweight wheels on a dyno, but I've seen their effects on a 1/4 mile and the differences are vast. A lighter wheel combo reduces drivetrain loss, so you're essentially putting down more WHP to the ground. Thus you've unlocked some additional ponies. Am I wrong or right?
