street tires if you want to see the bigger numbers.

by the way i redyno'd my car and i know you were interested in a catback to 3" duals comparison. previous i made 429rwhp w/ a magnaflow catback now i added 4:10's in the stock rear, bfg drag radials and a dual 3" with magnaflow 4x9 mufflers with tailpipes out the back and dyno'd 416rwhp. the thing is..is that when i dyno'd 429 my A/F ratio was 13.0 flat now its 11.8!! probably from the exhaust switch. i will be getting it retuned.

I saw some people using 45-50psi of air in the street tires to get higher numbers. There are alot of tricks to get higher numbers on the dyno.

Bolt on the front runners to the rear and air them up to 80 psi.

I sure hope u have more than 800rwtq to spin those street tires on the dyno. Hell a twin turbo Viper was not spinning its street tires on the dyno when it was making 900rwtq. It did spin it when it made over 1000 rwtq so we had to put two people on the back of the car and it went over 1200rwtq which is what the max a dyno jet can go to.

Did they strap them good, or maybe the rollers were smoothen because they are old. The Twin Turbo Viper was making 900rwtq around 3500RPM and it didnt spin the rollers. It did start spinning the rollers when it made over 1200rwtq.
