I have NEVER claimed to be fast.. My cars feel slow and are slow compared to most... but I do like to push my current car and combo to its limits, so shame on you for thinking I shouldn't care about this or that BTW I have lightweight carpet, race seats, and no back seats...

Oh and talk to me when your car runs 11's lol..

i really wouldnt go that far. 20lbs is what .02 of a sec tech if you want to get tech. Gas in the tank weighs a **** load and can easily make up for the weight. **** you could take a **** and **** before your run and drop .005. Its all how far you want to go, but honestly I'd rather have a straight car in the long run then worry about 20lbs. I havent even begun to take weight out of my car yet, but when I get back will be to counter the roll bar and that.

SFC prevents the frame of your vehicle from twisting under "heavy" loads of power/torque. Even with a stock car I would recommend SFC. They also help reduce noise inside of the vehicle and lastly assist with launching.
