not worth the $ nor effort, nothing to be gained on the time slip.

Not really worried about et gain.. I just know adding 40lbs on the front of my car effected how my car works.. (still works good) just taking that 40 from rear and putting it up front was the effect I was trying to overcome.. and no I dont want to just add more weight to the rear to make the balance what it was before

Go Lithium has some nice lightweight batteries. 8 lbs. if your car is at it?s minimum weight already and has a good consistent 60 Ft times then changing batteries might no net and improvements in the ET. If you need to get 30 lbs off of the scale weight then it will be a good way to loose the weight. And probably pick up .02-.03
