| DRR Trophy |
Ya Bucky dont remember exact amounts that was in the 90s I made those changes but yes Im sure most gain was in rear wheel weight loss. Must say also tried aluminum drum in glide-no gain aluminum spool/gun drilled axles maybe .03 maybe .3 tehths was total gain from all but 9.60s to 9.28 was great!

Kinda off subject, but about picking up et. Several years ago at the Tri-State swap meet here in Denver, my now ex had met a guy at another display that was interested in sponsoring my car. She told me where he was at and I went and talked to him. He had a brand that I don't remember of car waxes and polishes that he was marketing and selling. We talked a bit, then he told me that he'd personally seen gains of .1-.2 seconds in the quarter mile by using his waxes and stuff....So I asked him for proof, back to back testing with published results.....He said he did't have them there, he'd have to get them and get back to me. So I asked him if he knew what it would take to gain that much et in an average car if you added hp....He couldn't answer...I did get a little testy with him at that point and said it's pretty much impossible to gain that much et just by washing and waxing your car... Needless to say, no sponsorship, but I was good with that. NO way in hell would I put someone's business on the side of my car that makes outlandish claims like that without any shred of proof.... Just goes to show you some guys will say anything to sell a product......

Yup as a 40 year bodyman I have seen alot of B.S. about polishes -none of them worth any e.t. gain-lol The difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the inability to learn. Don't be stupid | |||

You may not have gained in money but your self-respect lived on. On might have gotten a small sponsorship(might ket word), don't it would cover having to lie about the stuff. Oh yea looking like a fool would have been another thing. Better be some slick wax, bet JFR would own the company to keep that one secrete.LOL America home of free.

Look keyboard jackass I am not a lier. My car has been around centeral U.S. for many years those that know me would say it runs as discribed but only a keyboard nobody with nothing to back up his bull**** would try to call me such. So with 6 track championships a e.t finals win and over 20 big buck wins you can piss-off! The difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is lack of knowledge.

old man, please don't use big words you can't spell. never stated you were a liar, stated you are delusional which without question you are! The fact is no one is running 3 tenths quicker by removing 54 lbs. of rotational weight or dead weight in a bracket door car, no mind your pile of shyt and what you did decades ago at your duck pond
is meaningless to this topic.  | |||

Does it make a difference sure every ounce does,The question really is is it enough to be measurable?Moment of intertia is far more to it than just weight.Same weight wheel with light center heavy outer will accelerate and decelerate slower than same weight wheel with heavy center light outer. | |||

Well heaven knows your opinion is the only one that matters in your small mind 1290. The car lost 72 lbs. total 54 in rotating weight and no matter what you think you know thats what it did so like I said-piss-off jerk you are not here and CFR and Byron dragway are not "duck ponds" you have managed to ruin yet another thread on DRR with your backward B.S.

Fact... I removed 26lbs in rotating mass on the rear axle flange and saw zero improvement. Nada , nothing . Looked impressive and cost a ton ...lol... | |||

And if you would have removed double that you would have run 3 tenths quicker. 67TSCHEVY2…KNOWS! Others here…clueless, delusional and fools.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 1320racer, | |||

I know on my car, when I switched from regular wheels in the back to beadlocks I was told I'd slow down due the the extra weight....car actually went a bit faster.....biggest gain wasn't et though, it was in stability. Sure felt different on the top end compared to non-deadlock wheels. But the gain was minimal....and I didn't do it for gain...it ended up being only a couple of hundredths if I remember right...

Fact is losing weight will help performance and losing rotational weight is better. The question is how much better. I tend to think it is not as much difference as some have said. One thing is many cars are faster with a powerglide than with a T-400 and much of that may be because of rotational weight because a 3 speed SHOULD be faster. But there is weight and friction, you can tell when I went to powerglide many years ago I noticed it was much easier to push car in staging lanes with it. Years ago they were running some front engine dragsters that only weighed about 1300 race ready with driver. 50 Lbs of rotational weight MAY have made a lot more difference on a lightweight car like that than it does on our cars weighing considerably more. I am saying losing rotational weight is better but I just do not know how much. And honestly with out doing an A to B to A test on same day under same conditions nobody can say for sure exactly how much. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

What power level? Asking because as with everything racing combo is key. Seems that higher power cars it is less to noneffective. Where lower power car where the motor is straining to get wheels up on tire it has more effect. So it seems! I am not debating what anyone says they have found. I 100% agree that you can spend ton of money and see very little return. America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||
