    Drag mods for next year

    Post your planed drag race friendly mods:

    Since the new house I have to look at CHEAP/FREE mods!

    -Ditch the stock v6 rear sway bar for a 24 mm hollow
    -pick up aluminum front brakes in place of iron front ones (20+ lbs gone)
    -ditch heat system and piping (25+- lbs gone)
    -finish door panels
    -ditch door bars (12+ lbs gone)
    -look further into frame area (XX lbs gone)
    -ditch center console (5+ lbs gone)

    Money mods (these are maybe's):
    -Get true front runner tires (15+ lbs gone)
    -electric water pump (5+ lbs gone through removal of idler pulley and bracket)
    -Chome moly LCA's (15+ lbs)


    These are off the top of my head.

    Local guys (tim, foff, craig) are trying to convince me to ditch the cat in place of a bullet muffler... more flow.... more tuning potential.

    I'd like to see 27XX pounds this year. I can do it very easily.

    Updates to come
    Nitrous passes to come!

      Hey James, can you send me the info from your 12.16 nitrous run so I can update the timeslips?

        Looks like you are only missing the RWTQ which is 380 and slicks used

        N/A - 180 RWHP
        200 RWTQ
        Slicks used

        Did you need more?

          Hey 12secondv6, wild guess; how much do you think all that will knock off my 1/4 mile E/T?

            I would expect you to lose about 120 pounds.

            In theory that is 0.1 reduction.

            Then factor in the gears.... maybe .2?

            Weight redux + relocation will do wonders.

            It could prob go a bit quicker... but I tend to under estimate ;)

              3.42 Open Diff to 4.10 LSD will only knock off .2? I was thinking .4 - .6! It better be more than .2! LOL [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                          installing a new clutch since i'm spining like crazy. looking to moving up to a 125 shot. and start weight reduction.

                          with more grip i'm sure to get 12.9xx and weight reduction will not hurt!

                              Hey James, I didn't know you ran the 125 shot on that run... have you thought about a 150? That would definately do the trick!!
