Keep an eye on the wheel and tire forums, I'm sure the backspacing will pop up soon.

The final dyno showed 1.8 degrees knock at peak power at 77 iat.
Thanks for the response. 1.8 isn't that bad for a stock tune under those conditions, but 0 is of course better. I wonder if the gas in the car just wasn't 93, but 91 as that is available in Texas as well...

I have read about poor quality gas a lot, thankfully I have never ran into it while dynoing any of my cars. But I always use top tier gas. If people looked at the list of what is considered top tier gas suppliers, many would be surprised how many common and well known ones are not on there. I always tell my car buddies to stick with top tier gas, unless you have no other options.

Subscribed, Great numbers to work with. I think this car is going to be a huge hit. However, will take some time to get valid tuner upgrades to engine, trans, suspension, etc. Worth the wait however.

Not for engine. But suspension will take some time

Some might say a shop would be prone to lowballing the 'before' to make their stuff look better, which is true. But if you have a dyno that tends to read high you'll also post better gains vs a more conservative dyno.

Even in the coming months when people do a before & after, I'm still skeptical that it might be a 'happy' dyno. If you dyno your car, are you going to be more likely to post it if the number is high or if its low?
A nice way to protect against that is to have them ALSO dyno a car with known HP/torque numbers, like a gen 5 Camaro SS.

Higher or lower than what? I don't think that matters, putting the car up on a dyno is a fun experience, and I'd take pics of it all and post it all, regardless of what the numbers are...

Manual with the dual mode exhaust to make it a bit heavier. Well, I guess you can add a pound or so with the cargo net, and center wheel cap

They are weighed with a full tank, as per manufacturer guidelines and GVWR
