Those are the "amuse" setup. Specs in my sig: 20X9 +8 and 20X10 +18. Yea, im thinking of getting the gintani sport exhaust. Or maybe Arquay, Dixie, or Amuse and shorten the tips or Kressig.

you and me both!

Are the wheels 19's or 20s? Did that make a difference maybe in power?
20s. Yea i have heard it does make a difference in pwr.

Yea 20s do hinder performance. Well, with the step lip, the face is only a 19" face so if i did 19" then the face would be 18". It would look too small IMO.

Two plausible explanations:

- Your wheels are too heavy and too big to spin on the roller dyno.

- According to what resident expert PencilGeek had mentioned before, the S65 engine needs A LOT of air especially at high rpms. If it does not get the required air being crammed into the intakes, the ECU cuts back on the power. If you had fans at the front of the car, it is very likely you would have dyno'ed heigher.
Hrm, there was a fan in the front of the car. Multiple fans actually. guess it just needed MORE MORE MORE air!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
