greasy slicks are not happy on dyno i am aware of this. This is why i was asking for suggestions on how to fit 16's so i can have a wider tire on the car.

I'm not confused. Can't speak 1st hand, but from reading other posts, it seems the V6 brake swap is the trick. Although I forget what is involved. OP's car is no dyno queen. Watched him hammer it at the 1/4 mile track. Interested in seeing it with the new mods.

Yes, the v6 brake swap is the only way to fit the 16" wheel. I'm in the process of doing it this week. This way I can fit a 28x14.50 slick instead of a 28x10.
