Use dyno's for comparisions same car same dyno only you guys are hell bent on these numbers like there really going to equate To better #s on the track... Best way to find that out is to bring it to the track..

This sounds like a man who knows EXACTLY what he's talking about. Forget the dyno numbers, fellers. If you're tuning on a dyno, then sure, the difference pre/post is important. Other than that, there's really no reason to even strap it down.
Trap speed, trap speed, trap speed.

I've learned my lesson. Although I felt like I could launch my car on any track, any condition, on any tire, and cut 1.70's, I now believe that I have to bow to the laws of physics. With my new TCU tune, removing all of the torque limiters, the car unleashes it's full fury at WOT. I'm sure you saw my car ice skating all the way down the track all day.

They rubbed the whole time.. I'm wondering if I had the suspension set up higher if my ets would have been better.. I'm hoping I can bring tools to test that to give a write up.. We passed them around not sure who Andy brought them they are nice.. I really like them they weight difference is allot? I ordered the evosport rotors also but still havnt received them.. I think that's going to be a big improvement. Did you see a diff in mph. Or et with yours. Every pound helps.. The form from what I understand is 1# rotational = 5pounds non reduction.. And I need all the help I can get since I'm not ad light as any of these guys... Every 100 = about a .100 from what I hear???? November should prove to be a great month for Mhp prob. Better then October... Thanks Andy!!!!!

haters crazy
This man knows what he's talkin about!!! Even if dynos were equal (they definitely aren't), then quoting peak numbers is useless anyway. Power under the curve is what matters. I've beaten many cars that have dynod way higher than me

I checked out the videos from the track (which were awesome BTW). Everyone's personal best was with the the skinnies bolted-up and they certainly looked to knock a solid tenth off compared to runs with OEM wheels up front. Very cool of Andy to bring 'em.
Not only are they lighter, but they are lighter at the outermost point. The further away from the hub you can get unsprung weight savings the better. They also offer a lot less rolling resistance. I might have to find me a set.

I have skinnies like Ahmad on my E55 and I didn't see gains like I was hoping for. My CCW's set me back about 900 with tires. My best time with 19" HRE Comp 20's in front was 10.87 in about 800-1000 DA and with the skinnies mounted 10.77 in zero DA. I will say that my daily driver HRE's are pretty damn light, not too far off from the skinnies. I never did a same day comparison.
