Paging Bence13_33
Hey Shane,
I was just wondering about a few things on your car... What rims are you using.. If you still use the stock Rallies - you can get a .1 to .2 faster ET just by swapping to Centerline Auto Drag or other light weight rims.. The rally wheels are around 24lbs/rim.. The Centerlines are 14.5 lbs/rim.. That's almost 10 lbs per rim lighter.. Due to the fact that it's centrifugal weight - each 10 lbs that you take off is worth about 50lbs... which would make your car effectively 100 - 200 lbs lighter... which could take .1 to .2 off your ET..
There are some additional weight savings that can reduce your ET by quite a bit.. One example is the spare tire carrier and spare tire (if you have it)..
:cheers:
Olivier

I have currently already removed the spare tire, carrier and floor jack from my car. I am however still running stock Corvette Rally rims. I may have to look into a set of Centerline Auto Drag Rims. Thanks for the recommendation!

Some Auto Drag's or Convo Pro's in a 15x8 with 4.5" backspace would fit pretty good :yesnod: .

Bence....
What are those drag radials you are running again? They fit right on the stock rally rims?
