Is there a conversion for weight to et? I think I remember reading that every 100 lbs will add .1 of a second to the et. Is that true?

It's close to that. Maybe .08-.10 but the faster you go that 100lbs of reduction wont' drop your ET as much. -Mark

ive read that too, its about a tenth in the 1/4 mile. if your car is strip only start gutting your interior. lighter rims help too, skinnies up front.

remember that sprung versus unsprung weight will yield different results.

For example 100 lbs lighter on wheels and tires, combined with rolling resistance, could give .15-.20 in e.t. difference.

100 lbs is close to 1 tenth, but as mentioned, faster cars see less of a gain than slower cars will.

Doesn't matter if the weight is sprung vs. unsprung. I'm not sure where that rumor started from but its simple physics.

Lighter rotating parts help more than lighter static parts..
like wheels, drive shaft, disc's.. etc..

does anyone know just how much lighter it is going from a factory 16" wheel and tire combo to a 15x3.5 pro star is??? i just put the fronts on lastnight and i could not believe the difference just by picking them up.

Weight reduction IS THE BEST MOD I have ever done to my car.

That was what I was trying to say, but guess I butchered up the word usage....

at least I used a good example..
