Seriously, do heavy wheels make THAT much of a difference?

you're on heavy wheels, heavy tires and talking about running more boost and then worried about fuel economy?
you sort of have to pick a direction you want to go in and follow it..there are no free lunches. Everything is a compromise at some point

I just want to go quicker in a straight line and wish the get the best bang for the buck. When I originally bought my wheels I didn't have that priority. but now I do. The 928 impeller seems like it's going to help me more than going to ligher wheels will.

I dunno, he only made 323 with a 2.87 pulley as his baseline. That's like 3.33 pulley power.
His 928m pull reflected a typical 2.87 pulley pull. We need a car that makes the typical ~370-400 with a 2.87 to do a comparison. Not an outlier.

Grassrootsmotorsports did a wheel thing and did an artical with tires on different size wheels. Good reading if you can find it.

atleast we know that WE made the car slow

Hmm...I never saw that topic. It's more than I though. I already bought the impeller and it should make me faster than changing out wheels regardless...but a wheel change is likely soon.
