Though I'm curious what results HaveBlue comes up with, I cant wait until Ody gets some numbers since he and I have the same motor.  |

Oh, the pressure!
Actually, I'm just as interested in doing runs with my stock 17's and my Mille Miglia 18's, which weigh 9 lbs more, each. While I'm there . . . . |

I had it written down at one time. From memory: my '03 sport wheels (17") with 225/50R17's filled to 32psi were 42 lbs each. The 18" x 8" Mille Miglias with 245/45R18's also at 32 psi were 51 lbs each. This was on a bathroom scale that I brought out to the garage. I'm curious to see the gains of the Tonya/Volant vs. any losses due to bigger wheels on the dyno.
I also weighed my 14" Brembo two-piece rotors and calipers. I'll weigh the stockers when I do the swap to see which is heavier.
Devil, where are you at in NoVA? I'm in Dulles/Sterling/Leesburg area three days a week. |

OK All,
I've got all the kits, (thanks to Krank & Ody). The dyno day is scheduled for this Thursday the 20th at 10:00am Pacific Time.
Let the Games Begin! |

Are you going to clean all the filters too? Wouldn't seem fair if one filter has 3000miles and another had 9000 on it. Or did they send you new stuff? |

All the filters will be cleaned and properly reoiled. The stock filter only has a few hundred miles on it. |
