Thread: SHOOTIN FOR 12s.

Tweet

The cheapest way is to make the car lighter. Take out the inner fenderwells, remove the back seat, carpet, and sound deadener. Replace the front seats with a pair of plastic or aluminum seats (make sure you mount and brace them correctly), move the battery to the trunk, remove the front sway bar, and get all the non-essential components out from under the hood.

Every hundred pounds you remove is good for 1/10th of a second lower ET!!!!

I like your advice. That front bumper on the 1978 Nova is also not to light . Gut that car out ! I really would like to see this car make a pass . It should run low 12s

Never have figured out why the engine seems to be everyone's major concern when building a performance car. There are so many other things that go into it. I always figured the engine was the easy part....
