...and put down 400rwhp and 523rwtq!!! Friend of mine put down 412rwhp 516rwtq with the same mods minus the borla muffler I have and he's on 18's whereas I'm on 20's.

My Mods: 2003 L, 6lb pulley, jlp chip, jlp cai, custom e-fans, borla, 20's
His Mods: 2002 L, 6lb pulley, jlp chip, jlp cai, custom e-fans, 18in rims.

 

Good to know the 20's don't take too much power away. Which wheels do you have? Any idea on weight? How about tires?

 

I'm running a set of RVM wheels, they are a black 5 spoke with the polished lip. Don't know how much they weigh tho. Tires are Goodyear's 295/40/20's.

So if I put on 13" Honda wheels will I get more HP?

 

The less rotating mass, the less power consumption.

The energy at the center has a shorter distance to travel and turn the outside of a smaller wheel. The more you increase the O.D. diameter, the more energy is needed to move the wheel.

An easy test is to take a drill and connect it to a few objects. You'll be able to spin a standard sanding wheel, etc. with ease. Connect a drill to a flywheel or some other heavy object somehow, and you'll be lucky to even move it or it'll be very slow spinning.
