Low or normal HP results?
Ok... so my buddy and I bought a beltronics FX-1 performance meter... and we were testing it out on my car tonight. I have a 2000 max, and the only mods are a flowmaster muffler, and a stillen intake. I know that nissan says this car is 222hp... but that is at the flywheel. From what the FX1 told us... which is a very accurate device from reviews that I have read... I had peak hp at 145... and my best 1/4 time was 15.77. I thought that the wheel hp being 145 sounded really low... but I'm not sure. I havn't gotten around to checking my VIAS... could that be my problem. Is there anything else I need to check into? Thanks!

THe FX is gives a very accurate measure of acceleration but for HP readings there are too many variables. I wouldn't put too much stock in that number. The 1/4 time seems right for a mostly stock 5th gen auto.
