Effects of weight removal

Alan Warman · 11-07-2010, 09:34 PM

Well, the season is over and time to make some changes to the car. I run J/SA and my minimum weight is 3170 lbs, but my car weighs 3225 lbs with me in it and no ballast. The weight distribution is 57% front and 43% back, not that good but it could be worst. The good news is that I can remove 105 lbs off the car with 85 lbs coming off forward of the front spindles. The bad news is that it will cost about $1500 dollars or $15.00 dollars a pound. What I would like to know is, will you see any improvement in your sixty foot or ET by changing the weight distribution. Lets say going to 54% front and 46% rear.
