Drop your ETAs by 1 sec...2 min mod!!!!!
It's not even the Dustbuster/vacuum mod we love so much! http://www.edgarcato.com/b9_1.jpg Yes indeed friends, real results from weight reduction. Thanks to a recent blowout I was able to take advantage of the TRUE potential of the LS1. I used my spare tire and when I got the tire replaced I let the tire shop keep the spare as well...amazing!!! I have since left my jack out of the vehicle as well, WOW!!! What a lift!! I will check at the track this week but predict a 1 sec drop in ETs...or so. Try it you will like it!! Legal disclaimer: Personal results may vary, author takes no responsibility if user has a blow-out and needs a spare on the road, and if reader believes such outlandish claims they may be a ricer...please PM author as he has a bridge/4.6L to sell them.

Sorry dude correct me if I'm wrong, but I really doubt that you would get one second out of removing the spare and jack. Together they weigh about 40lb. In my experance 100lb = 1tenth depending where the weight was removed.

I think he was joking but I really didn't find it too funny anyway.

Hell no, I have just seen some many other ridiculous products and claims posted here I thought I'd add to the fray. Just hop over to a rice site, they truly do believe things like this though. My idea is to make a fairly decent 1/4 mile car but with awesome handling capabilities. I have been reading just about everything here pertaining to these things so I can make the most balanced car possible. I know better, just wanted to give some people a laugh, since most are reading this during working hours. I know it's the only time I'm allowed to really get the questions and research done, my wife won't allow me this kind of time at home.

You guys suck. I saw the humor in the post, and did get a good laugh. .... Well, a chuckle anyway. Did you people not read the disclaimer?! Don't worry Scooby, your sense of humor is just too advance for us.
