also filling in my wheel/tire size doesn't seem to change anything. however, if I fill in the tire diameter it changes...not sure what my value should be right off hand.
I still think the program should default to a fixed vehicle weight so everyone is on the same sheet of music. the left column starts with one weight for an 05 evo 8 5 speed and the right column starts with something else.

here's what mine looks like right now, I don't know the vehicle weight (no weight reduction done) and I'm not correcting for the 245/40/18 wheels/tires so take it with a grain of salt. I did this log yesterday
If everyone used the same weight, then people with light cars would get inflated numbers and people with heavy cars would get low numbers.

I said, default, that means, start with the known correct weight from the factory, the user can then change as needed to suit their car. I'm aware of how weight affects the numbers, that's why I'm bringing this up.

v5.6 has an error with the BASE pull formulas so only the comparison side is reliable. I was going to fix it but now that they are working on a new stand-alone version I won't bother. I really can't get excel to auto-fill in the blanks and still have them editable by the user. I was going to add a list of average stock weights to the revision but I'm sure we can have it auto-fill with the C# application.
The tire calculator was added to just make it easier for the user to figure out their diameter rather than using the online calculator. I kept them seperate because some users have race tires which are ONLY in diameter, not the standard tire sizing (i.e; 235/45R17). So once you calculate your size into diameter, you can enter it into the chart.

). I thought you wanted the user not able to adjust it.
My DLL with the way it was setup was always within 5-10 HP on average from what my car would actually dyno up at AMS on there Dyno Jet. So I messed with the correction factor on the VDR to match my DLL output. Its crazy how accurate and consistant VDR is if used properly on a FLAT smooth road!! Now even with AEM I can still have my portable dyno 
Here is what my sheet is looking like ATM. Full weight daily driver.. Car is on 18s as well with 12 inch sub, AMP etc. Weight added actually

Man, how do you daily drive a 700+ HP car!? Very impressive! How much of the stock block/internals are still installed? And the most important daily driver question, what's your fuel economy?
