how much is 60ft going to drop with 300bl weight reduction? my current 60ft is 1.53 weight is 3300 going to drop weight to 3050bl with brakes aliminum drive shaft ,kirkey seat, dry cell battery , no power steering,fiber glass hood,ewp,... the car is 347ci and th400 12 bolt moser

I ran 10.99@123.2 1.53 60ft last time .what is the effects of dropping 250bl-300bl on the et mph 60ft numbers?

thanx in advance

They say 100lbs= .1 et and 1mph. As far as the 60ft goes, Im not sure. I would like to know this also.

Pound=lb, not bl.

.3 in the 1/4 all things being equal. 60' is more of a power and suspension thing if you ask me. Theoretically (TS6 did I spell that right ) 300 less bl's (hehe) should take less power to move so your 60 should drop but I would guess not by much. Also going to depend on where that weight is coming off of.
They say .2 drop in the 60' is worth .3 up top but I don't see that happening with your set up as it sits, or mine for that matter.

You will probably see a .02-3 gain in sixty. Change that TH-400 for a TH-350 with a low gear set and you will see a big gain.

in my case the more weight i remove off the nose the better my car will 60 foot. 300lbs is alot of weight to not carry around anymore. goodluck to ya.

what if i swapped th400 from (2.48,1.48,1) fears to (2.75,1.57,1) any changes in 60ft,et or mph?

I calculated 1.47s from a physics formula. It assumes a constant uniform acceleration without any rollout accounted for. Its obviously a rough approximation.

If you are planning to run N/A, any weight that you can get out of the rotating assembly is a big plus. I have a friend that blew-up his locally built TH-350. I lowned him one of my "Stocker" TH-350's (Low gear-set and other tricks) and his car picked up a tenth. That's TH-350 for TH-350! I have a Th-200 here that is a little over a tenth faster than my best TH-350. With a good tune you could probably drop your 10.9 to a 10.7 if you buy a good transmision and converter. Expect to pay as much as $3,500.00 for a good TH-350 set-up.

Good Luck,

Lets just say that removing the weight will not slow you down.

Dropping 300 lbs should put him in the 10.7's without a tune or different transmission. In other words, without spending another dime, other than the $$ spent on the lightweight stuff.

60' should improve nicely. With less weight, it should move better from a stop.

what is the wt diffs. between TH400 and TH350???

i think the th350 is 10lb lighter but the th400 is tougher

Ls1LikeNoOther

Put the 2.75 gears in the th400 match it with a good custom built converter for your application and your 60's will drop...

what do y'all think?

And a TH-350 will be faster than the TH400 unless you pay mega $$$ for the TH-400. A Th-400 isn't the best modification you can make if you want to go fast N/A.
