ok mathmetician then YOU tell me how much it is then genius...

ok now so even though we have told you those speed calculators are waaaaaay off period.....so yes they do lie.....and its been a drag racers rule of thunb for years that 10 hp or 100 lbs. of weight reduction is worth ABOUT a tenth...it is not 100% accurate,but probably alot closer than these online calculators are...

and actually it is alot more accurate in the 15,14,and 13 second range that a tenth is worth about 10 hp or 100 lbs....because once you get in the 12's and lower it takes even MORE hp to lower your et's ......





Actually that sounds pretty darn close to me. I ran a 14.8x with about 206 wHP and 3300 lbs. Later with the turbo I ran a 13.8x with about 320 HP and maybe around 3350 lbs.
So yea, that is about 10 tenths faster with another 100 horsepower or so to the wheels.
