Weight seems ok to me - CC and 4x4 make 'em a little hefty.

Subject: Re: DML: K&N FIPK on the dyno
I ran a horsepower test with my '97 with the G-Tech. It gave me 140'ish.
I ran the truck to redline 1st through 3rd gears. It seemed low to me.
Using the scale at Bandimere, it gave me 4600 lbs. Does the weight seem
ok? If I deduct 20% from the advertised 230hp, it gives me
about 184, that seems close to what the dyno gave Bob. I dont know why
it gave me such low horsepower...with the cat-back, K&N, ram air.
