That's what everyone seemed to think. In my case as one of the shop guys put it. This weird setup is making you power... I'm using stock y pipe and cats with the Tanabe SHSM exhaust with the SSV an JWT pop...

Doubt any of that would make a noticeable difference. If your tires are stock size, i'm almost positive they are still the same circumference as stock 18s.

I was just talking about this with a buddy of mine who also agrees that on a dyno wheels and tire size should not play any factor in the numbers..

That's correct!! In fact there are some types of dynos out there where you remove the wheels and the dyno bolts right up to the studs on the hubs!

Thanks... In talking to some guys they are telling me i may loose numbers when i install the tanabe y pipe and Berk HFC's. So my thinking is i may want to get and install a Utec for the same price and see what is going on with the car. then after that i'll go ahead and slap on the pipe and cats.. So in short i'll most likely hold off on any other mods until i get a Utec and a A/F meter. At this point for the price of the pipe and cats i'd rather get the brains make sure i don't loose power.. Last thing i want to do is spend $1000 and drop numbers on the dyno..
