Pulled 70lbs out of the car today.

So if its not to much to ask. How much faster will it be once it leaves the shop

[98Aggie]

Should be 3-4 tenths faster.

Should get him off the 10.1 hump and into the 9's with a stock ci engine.

[BLK_GMC]

sweet!

[Blacksunshine]

Its something like, for every 100lbs taken out, you gain 1/10 of a second. Not much but it adds up I guess
