Hey Per, just saw your last two updates. Regarding the meet that you went to, did you guys get to drive the 142? How is the new suspension??? How's the new sound deadening? That looks like something that i'll need to look into... Also, about the dyno: Personally i think those wheels are extremely ugly, no offense, and they look very heavy. Although being steel, the stock rims were skinny, these wheels are not as skinny, (15x6 right?), and don't really have a light "spoke" pattern(not really spokes...). Also, the added width of the tires will also add weight. So what i'm thinking, but this doesn't necessarily make sense, is that the extra weight of the wheels accounts for your drop in power. But i don't see how that makes sense when you're doing faster runs to 60 mph. Maybe on the dyno the car goes through the rev range faster and this increases the effect of increases wheel/tire weight. Just an idea... Keep up the great work! Let us know how it is working out! Peace,
Kyle
