C55

first dyno

315hp and 324 ft/pounds of torque at the wheels. 80 degrees and 31% humidity (awesome wa weather lately).

I have:

k&n filters
res delete
secondary delete
19" wheels.

What kind of drive line % loss do we have with larger wheels and the slushbox? I was told 18% so thats 385ish at the crank? Or is it a little more with the larger wheels.

A lot depends on the type of wheels also. I don't think I lost any with mine. Did you do any before dynos?

Nope...I don't have the factory wheels; the previous owner had sold them and bought the tsw bremmas

I always thought that by going up sizes in wheels equates to more rotating mass which leads to more drivetrain power loss.

Thanks! I think I also have the LET tune that the previous owner had (used to post here) because his previous signatures said he had it done but never told me he had the tune. Also, the car hit 160mph in 4th gear on the dyno; tell tale sign of speed limiter removed right?
