Would it be possible to gain a 1/2 second through weight reduction?
Paul New:
Theoretically 500lbs is a1/2 second

Yes you could but you would have to start with a 2500# car

Glen I don't think you could pick up .5 but you will see some gains by reducing the weight of the car . If you tow your car to the lanes and back to the pits there is really no need for a radiator . A way to circulate your water back in the pits is an good idea . Any rotating weight you can get rid of will also help like a lightened ring gear and an alluminum spool . Just tell Anne you want that alluminum block for Christmas!!!

Just spent 3500 to repair the motor home, another 5ooo on a block and the build is out of the question
