The car has been tuned and runs great. Just headed out for a dyno shoitout at the street machine nationals and thought changing tires might pick up a few.

We gained about 240rwhp from 200shot from 633rwhp to 873rwhp
Today I received some new parts from Danny at Lethal Performance hoping for 750+rwhp on blower and close to 1000rwhp on the juice.
I'll keep you posted try to get some vids of your car at the shootout

Cars don't race on a dyno.

But as others have said, a lighter wheel/tire combo with a stiff sidewall and a non sticky tire pumped up will give you a little higher number.
