What he said.
I thought heavier wheels will change your dyno readings... someone wanna explain this to me if that's not the case? Then explain it to the guys over at Sports Car Revolution on Speed Channel where they dyno'd their RSX test car and noted the loss due to the big brake kit they installed.

IIRC: heavier parts = more drivetrain loss = less torque applied to the dyno = lower tq and hp numbers (since dyno hp is calculated from the torque)... what am I missing?
