Default Wheels on the Dyno?

Hey guys,

I need to know if their will be a difference of power on the dyno if I go b/w 22" or 16" for my dyno tuning sessions. My 22"'s are also 31" tall.

Should I tune with the factory wheels or the 22's?

Thanks,
Rob

If this is a good dyno like the DynaPac or DynoDynamics and you're getting a full session then it shouldn't matter what wheels are on it because all your cells will be tuned so changing the load after the tune won't hurt anything.

If you're using a DynoJet or something similar then yes, put the lightest wheel you got on there to boost your #s but ONLY if those are the wheels you're going to run on most of the time. Otherwise IMO leave whatever wheels you plan on driving on 24/7. Otherwise if you tune with a light wheel then add a heavy one later on you increase the load and you may get more KR.
