#19288, "RE: weight reductions ...what else can be done"
In response to In response to 39


          

So, thanks to MJ there, check this out...

My car = base model Talon 5 spd + 50lbs misc crap + 250lbs MFA (my fat ass) = 3,022lbs. I put out maybe 160hp at the crank. Do the math...

3022/160 = 18.9lbs/1hp

Now take my car, leave all that shit in it and put a stage 2 with FMIC, tune that bitch for 250hp at the crank and do the math...

3022/250 = 12.1lb/1hp

but look how close you get when you drop 1000lbs and still have me and my 300lbs of crap in the car NT...

2022/160 = 12.6lb/1hp ! That's only .5lbs/1hp difference. Get some headwork done for an extra 20hp and the NT drops to 11.2lbs/1hp. That equals faster car imo with no lag issues...


Now I want to strip Daisy down to nothing and buy lots of expensive carbon fiber.... (sigh)
