If I can get mine going we would have five.

I can be there early. And I was the last to post, and know I have to check timing, so I can wait to dyno if the time doesn't allow. If I get the annual done I can dyno during the next week.

Sorry folks, but I won't be able to attend the dyno day. A work thing came up and I can't make it up to Austin Saturday morning. Thanks and have fun guys!!!

Anyone in the Austin area have four extra Mustang wheels with tires on them I could borrow for the dyno day? I have no wheels right now.

I have spare F-body wheels w/ tires mounted but they won't do you much good without adapters. They're 5x120.7mm bolt pattern. I think Mustangs are 5x114.3. If you can get your hands on the right adapter, you're welcome to use 'em.

I have spare 16" 5 lug wheels, some with RA1s that are good enough to dyno. For the front I have two '98 Cobra wheels with tires good enough to roll around on, will clear PBR or Brembo brakes not sure about other big brakes.

Let me know if you need them. Could meet you Friday PM.

Thanks Chuck!

Call me on my cell when you can. 512-658-7640. I would like to use the wheels if you don't mind.

Just a reminder that wheels with a significantly different rotational inertia than what you actually plan to run will show up in your dyno numbers...

Yes, it will.

By how much Richard? If the wheel and tire is lighter than what we are going to run would I show more or less power with the heavier wheel/tire combo? Even maxed out with timing and everything my 4.6 does not make the numbers.

Thanks for the tech. Richard. Looked up some Toyo RA1 tire data:
275/40R17 is 29# and is 25.7" tall.
255/50R16 is 27# and 26.1" tall.

So the normal 275/40R17 is two pounds heavier, but 0.4" shorter than the 255/50R16. Assuming the wheel weight is about the same, how big of an effect will this have on dyno numbers?

Thanks,
Chuck
