I have the 18" steelies - not sure how much lighter they are compared to the full on rims but I think your biggest pain point is the heat and humidity. Would have been good to see what the dyno numbers were when stock to really have a comparison.

The real truth to dynos is that you can't 100% compare your dyno numbers to anyone else's unless it was on the same dyno with the same conditions. Each dyno is going to be different - some in my town are known to be ball busters while others are known to read high. Then other companies are known to mess with the calibration for any car that wasn't built by them just so they can sell you performance parts and then adjust the dyno back to normal so they can show a huge improvement in HP after they're done.

Were you running 87 octane or 93?
