elky, u just had a freak engine. i did 164.5(iirc) totally stock. i'd be disappointed doing 168 w/ the mods u did. is the car dynotuned or chipped? 18" wheels shouldnt matter on a dyno, right? the car isnt moving and your not going for time, right?

Wheels do affect a dyno pull, the heavier they are the more your engine will have to work to get them spinning.
Rule of thumb I've heard for the 1/4 mile: 100 lbs of sprung weight = .1s (anything riding on top of the suspension) 10 lbs of unsprung weight = .1s (wheels)
While the sprung weight of the car is taken out of play at the dyno, the unsprung weight is still a factor.
