Default Getting my car dynoed today...

I'm getting my car dynoed today and I was wondering if I should close off the FTRA and take off the seal in front of the lid. Will I see better #'s? I've read that the FTRA wouldn't show gains on the dyno. Do you guys think I should also recharge my K&N filter? Also I STILL haven't installed my new clutch and I know I need to do that ASAP, but would there be a power difference on the dyno if my clutch is slipping?

EDIT: Here's the dyno sheet..

I left my FTRA open actually I have never closed it lol, you don't have to recharge the filter, maybe take it out and hit it against something so the dirt can come off.. its up to you, you can also recharge it.

If the clutch is slipping you will see a difference on the dyno. My stock clutch worked good when I had bolt ons only, but with a 75 shot it just slipped.

Slipping clutch will have a pretty big effect on your numbers. Get your new clutch installed before you dyno. JMO. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I just posted my dyno sheet. I and a few others didn't get a torque reading for some reason. My friend (first one up) is the only one who got a torque reading. What do you think my torque would be? 324.57rwhp

MODS: GMMG, LID, FTRA, LS6 intake, P&P TB, & MSD wires
