ok, i removed some weight for tommorow night, and weighed what was removed. I also removed the swaybar for better weight transfer. What are your opinions? Do you think its good for 1/10th sec?

Subwoofer 25lbs
spare 62lbs
tailgate 58
plystn\gmes 5
jack tools 4
cds/games 4
cooler 6
swaybar 27
total= 191
Ileft the 20's on because i seem to hook better with them.

get rid of them. and find where my truck was posted

 

i've heard evey 100 pounds is a tenth. i could be wrong but if that is the case you should save almost 2 tenths. but thats assuming we live in a perfect world and you drive exactly like you did last time. let us know how it goes.

 

My trction sucks as is. when i leave the 20s on i hook better the the stockers. is weight reduction worth the loss of even more traction????

 

im going to the track up here on sat. im removing the spair, tailgate, sub box, and the back seat. hope its worth a few .10th's.

 

I would think no tailgate + no spare + 20"s = less traction.

 

20s will help traction but only cuz their big, heavy, and hard to spin. unless yur MIX

 

Im thinking that the tail gate and spare may help me in the traction dept. the whole weight in the *** or spin the tires type deal. I hope the lack of the sway bar makes a difference. when i floor it now, its just super *** happy, but it does unload w/o the sway bar, i think with the weight in the *** i might not spin out as much.

It only took about 5 minute to take the sway bar off its only 8 bolts to remove. it sways, i can say that, but i havent driven it over 20 mph since, in a turn, you know your missing a sway bar. its 18 miles to the track so i should be ok.

I got the ET streets and took off everything that wasn't nailed down and it was a considerable diff.
