I dropped 200lbs of rotating mass and gained .45 in the 1/8 mile. I went from 22's and 305-45's to 16's and 30" DR's.

22's were 100lbs even a pop ad the 16's are 46lbs

Being a diesel wouldn't think weight would effect you the same due to your crazy torque but .45 should be .6-.8 in the 1/4. That is about right for the 4 times as effective for rotational weight.

True, I have torque for days, but rotational weight is the killer. I really only notice the difference in weight when I am stopping.
