Default Re: 100lb rule of thumb

According to T-Ped on last night's broadcast from Pomona, every 10 lbs is worth a tenth!! If I could quit eating Taco Bell, I'd be 1.20 under in no time.

That was close for my old Jr Stocker. Depends on HP levels. I think Tony should do some research, instead of quoting 40 year beliefs. My car, 100 = 6 hundredths, in decent air, seven in like 4000' + DA. 50lbs is a pretty consistant 3 hundredths any time..

Paul, That's some serious weight to et ratio. If I stopped eating eastern NC BBQ I would be right there with you on the 1.20 under!

My initial thought was on a lower hp (less than 500) and heavy car it might be more than .1 per 100#. Wanted to experiment last year, but chased too many demons. Hoping to validate when weather breaks.

On my R/SA jeep 90 lbs. is .15 (18 Lbs. / HP - 3230 @175HP);


So less HP or higher weight will be more than 1 tenth.
