Bolt-ons hp question

I don't think that removing the resonator would gain you anything in the realm of weight reduction, as it's probably minimal. I think it's (in terms of 1/4mi times) about 1s for every 100-150lbs, right? (I could be wrong here too though).

I can't help you a whole lot on the other stuff though, don't have a Z yet.

Just think about what your saying. Cut 500 lbs and you will be breaking into the 8's for a 1/4 mile. We only wish it was that easy!

It could have been a tenth rather than a full? Makes a little more sense. I never did any of the weight reduction stuff, not into it for a DD car.

Like I said, I could be (and obviously was) wrong. It's been so long since I've been into the racing scene. That whole "if you don't use it, you'll lose it" cliché comes to mind.

yep, roughly .1 sec for every 100 lbs. in this power/weight class.
