Got my car dyno'd today on a DynoJet

I remember that chart! Thanks.

BTW, how do they measure at the flywheel? How do they hook up the dyno? Did they have to take both wheels off?

Wheels & tires or S/C or ???

I made my last alimony payment in September and don't know what to do with the extra money.

Haha. Well the SSRs ARE the way to go. If you already put money into a drop,intake,exhaust,headers,short shifter, pulleys etc. etc. etc.... why not get the rims that you REALLY want? I strictly got the SSRs for their weight. Type C's weigh 10.5 lbs at 16"x7"! Are you kidding me?!?!? That's perfect. You get performance and the looks! Perfect! Especially if you plan on F/I in the future.

Get the rims you want, not the rims that will make you look at people like me and say "but I really wanted those!".

^^Just to let you know if you dyno at rad's, it's the same as this guy used.

I am deciding between the SSR Type C's and the Motegi Traklite Type 1

The Traklites are also forged and weigh 12bs for the 16". They also cost a little less than the SSRs.

just went to the dyno today at tag racecraft in oakville, ontario. Did three runs on their dynojet. Did all my runs in 4th gear (manual).
96.4hp 105.3tq
99.9hp 106.5tq
99.8hp 105.8tq

only engine mods were intake and custom exhaust (which is just a resonator).

maybe you could just call it a straight through muffler :P

i went with the tsxclub, and compared to them, it took me FOREVER to rev through the whole rpm band

As I explained, the flywheel figure is an estimation. The car is dynoed off the two front axles with the wheels taken off, so wheel diameter is taken out of the equation.
