Did u use the same dyno before and after the mods? If yes i would look at doing a leak down test or compression test to see where ur car at. Good luck man.

Did it feel faster after your mods? I'd be bummed too, but I'd be getting a second opinion in the way of better track times, better butt-o-meter feel...something. Anything. Let us know what you come up with.

I'd also be willing to bet that the wheels are to blame.

saw you the other day, those wheels are awesome

When my car had most of the bolt-ons and was running mid to high 11's the car would only dyno 314 on MTI's dyno and only 310 on TSP's dyno. All dyno's are different. I wouldn't put so much into dyno numbers.

I would be a little worried. My car(2000 Z with LT/ORY(Cutout open),HookerCatback,Lid,Maf Put down 333 to the wheels. No stall. I dont know anything about our cars when it comes to working on them. All i can say is that is low for what you have done. I wouldnt be to worried. Just call around, tell then your problem and youll work it out. If yo need anyhting big check out the sponcers ---->

A 18 x 9.5 C5 with 275/35/18 weighs 53 lbs compared to a 16 x 8 stock TA rim/tire of 42-lbs. Those 10.5's weight even more.

Most of your new HP was probably gobbled up by
those 18x10.5 wheels. You added quite a bit of
rotating mass to your ride. I agree with algws6,
put the 16x8 back on, dyno it and see what you get.

YOu might not be slower. What they are saying is your losing HP on the dyno because of your mass you added. Like somebody said above, they ran 11's??? with 315-320 hp.
Just dont take the dyno for granted unless you want a dyno queen. Then put a bottle on it.

It takes more power to turn a larger heavier wheel
than a smaller lighter one.

You will probably have less traction issues with the
new wheels which will help your track times.
