every 100 lbs is a tenth so 33 lbs is 0.033 of a difference in time, maybe .04 because off the front end so .19 tenths minus .04 is .15 tenths difference due to the sway bar (weight transfer) just my .02 though
well..with all added up i lost close to 60lbs off the nose. 33lbs-a/c,14lbs front sway and 12lbs air system. my car ram 1.9 tenths and was always 1.3-1.5 tenths faster all the time. when you take weight off the nose it helps more then taking more weight off else where. i've tried back to back track testing w/sway on and off....with it off it did'nt help much at all,so all the stuff off togeather helped alot.
