Default Dyno wheels????

So I'm gonna take my car to the dyno tomorrow and need to know what wheels to have on it. Would it make a difference to have the drag setup(lighter wheels) or the street setup(heavy 19/18 combo)???? I've gotten mixed answers to this so I really need some good input on this!

Well are you going to the dyno for numbers, or to make sure your setup is tuned properly and your everything is good to go ??

Dyno Numbers - light wheels, less rotating mass, higher dyno numbers.

Real numbers - whatever wheels were on it when you did the baseline

bring your girlfriend and her hair drier... she can blow hot air at the dynos ambient temperature sensor.. that will give you a higher corrected horsepower number....

or you can just skip the dyno, save the money and lie....

come on, you take the car to get dynoed to know what you have now, as a baseline for future mods.. for tuning purposes... to fix possible fuel issues etc... not to get a high number people dont believe anyway..
