Any more information on the lightened flywheel?
What is the basis of the 305hp? A guess? What other mods have you done (performance-wise) that would put your car to 350hp (assuming the "25hp" gain of the flywheel)?

I think he means he has a pulley upgrade.Originally Posted by Denlasoul

Actually, it may be a lightened flywheel. Im curious as I have looked into them before. Originally Posted by C43AMG

No way in hell can you get 25hp with pulley upgrades (underdrive).
Thank you for posting the need for correction. It is a Evosport Pulley Kit and not a lightened flywheel. It is reported to gain 25 hp on a V-8. The 350 hp is added together by the estimated 25 hp gain with the pulley kit, K&N Air Filters, Iridium Spark Plugs with Magnacore Race Wires, and a custom cat-back exhaust that eliminates the two catalytic converters and resonator. I have not had the car dynoed - so this is just an estimate on the hp. I have done many "track days" with the car and it will keep up with the Porsche's!

Better to post a dyno than to assume your car puts out 350 hp. You have some nice mods but get the car dynoed. Many have reported not feeling a difference with the pulley kit! I doubt if your mods pushed you up 50bhp.Originally Posted by RacinRev

An Evosport underdrive pulley kit?!?!?
You gotta be kidding me if you think you got 25 outta those. You'd be lucky with 2-5 at the wheels.
Like coolcarski said, I'd post some supporting evidence about your claims. No way in hell your car is putting out that much with the listed mods. No freaking way.
I'd be careful about what you claim, especially if you are trying to sell.
