Dumb question.
If your clutch is going bad,will that greatly reduce whp and wtq numbers on a dyno?

If your not getting all the power to your wheels, how is it going to be measured accurately?

That's why I'm asking I'm not exactly sure if that would be the main reason. I got dynoed again after a street tune after a canned tuned. Using the same dyno gained 7 whp and lost 138 wtq.

And on one pulled gained zero HP and was the same as the Canned tune. So would the fked clutch make that big of a loss?

It would since your not putting the power to the wheels, do you feel like your clutch is slipping?

A bad tach signal could cause that big of a drop. You should look at fuel trims and the entire power curve not just the peak numbers

There are few things better in life than freeing yourself from the clutches of The Man.

Then you buy a house and you're shackled for 30 years.

I can feel it slip and then once I really get on it in high RPMs I have to pedal and have to pump it. Throw out bearing been making a noise for quite a while as well.

Just don't fall for the people that say you need to have credit balances to buy more things with credit. If you have a decent job and a bank account and no late payments then you're fine. Paid off loans help too. We just bought a large house and we have no other debt. Top tier credit easily.

Not to butt in. But if you are buying a house you want to have your middle score of equifax experian transunion which ever is he middle number. Example
Transunion is 720 equifax is 800 and experian in 740 they will go with experian.

You also want your middle number to be 740 or higher to get the best interest rate.
Top 3 important things for a great credit score is 1. No late payments 2. Length of time you have had credit cards. 3. Credit utilization ( how much of your total credit limits is used)

If it's your first home you may want to look into FHA loans.
