Default 17x11s on dyno runs????

how much of a difference would there be when doing dyno pulls with 17x11s w/ 315s vs stock 17 inch wheels???
is it that much of a difference??
my car is going to be used for testing a camshaft and would like to put up correct#s and i would like to know if it is a big difference so we get accurate #s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

My last dyno #'s were pulled on 11" rims with about 16 psi of air. I'm gonna have it redynoed with a ported TB, cutout and 30 psi next month. I dont really know if the wheels make that much of a difference.

Ive only had my car dyno'd with the 17x11 315s so I couldnt say exactly how much of a difference it maks but it does make some difference. My guess would be a couple ponies.

I had a chance to try the swap at a dyno day. It made a 6 rwhp difference.

315's, 4:10 gears, no cut out, double disk clutch cost be about 15 HP on the dyno. based on what another LS1 with the exact mods same speed shop but had stock tires, gears, and clutch.

I came in at 417 hp the other LS1 came in at 431.
