What positive effects does ATF have on tires for drag racing?

I've never used it, but I think they soften them up.

Lol, he's joking. He made a comment on here that he soaked my tires in ATF.
I wouldn't recommend anyone try it. Hahaha.
Now he made the joke again, so I'm going 1.2x next year!!

some more weight info haven't updated here in a while. when you get your car under the min weight for class then you look at finding weight on the front to move to the back. I found another 25-35pounds in front (with going to the one light fan no shroud) It adds up, over a normal 3K pound car like most have. Some is cheap and free, some not.

not sure the year but noticed the new (2010+?) starters are smaller, so weighted one and a older LS1 starter. And its about a 1.5 pounds lighter.

but also is notice to have the more header room, and oil pan room.




Metzire WP119 HD. 7.8 lighter then the stock WP (and tensioner)
The HD motor is about a pound more, and 5/8 longer then the non HD motor. I got the HD motor because it had a much longer life rating, so some the money I thought it was worth it for street driving (pump life)

Don't have the weights now. But I was running stock front coils on starnge shocks, and now have afcos form madman, and afco springs. The springs are a Lot lighter then stock. I bet 10pounds? I remembered a friend txt me when he changed his, knowing I had stocks still it was a big overlook. Also changing form the stock lower Tbar style mount on my lower arms, and a poly bushings, To rod ends, and clevis tab shock mount, with trimming off the swaybar mounts and changing my travel limiters mounts will be another 3-5pounds hoping when its done.

Which Mezeir is that? No t-stat or place for heater hoses? Did you make something different for the heater hoses or just !heater?

Good find on the starters.

Pn is posted. It's the "race" style so you can not, drive on the street or engine will start on fire! As I read on the internet. And you have the "hack" a radiator hose, so its not for you.

Is the 2010+ starter a direct fit?
