True there! A toolbox doesn't weigh a lot but the contents add up fast !!
Proud to say the Venomous QC is at 4900 street weight!! Gas light on and minus me. Sheds another 125 lbs with Slicks and skinnies. Still have sway bars and a few other things I'll she'd for race night
I got rid of my spare. Honestly the best weight reduction / traction mod I made was removing the front sway bar. Special thanks to Arrestmered04 for that one
WHAT??? Really? Holy **** I'm driving a 6 speed pork chop!
What purpose does the metal cover on the side of the fuel tank serve?
..............???
10-4
leave your spare... especially for your first time... IMO it helps more than it hurts...
Do u put it back in for everyday driving? Does it affects ur handling?
Would removing the rear sway bar hurt?
I removed mine several years ago, per ArrestMeReds advice, and I never put in back on. I have over 64,000 miles of driving and I can't tell any difference, and although I don't road race , I do drive 75-80 on the freeway and have no touble with the fast turns on the highway, I even drive home from the strip with 16lbs of air in the slicks and 50lbs in the front tires , and the truck handles just fine at freeway speeds. The sway bar is 26.5 lbs.
Take it from one of the quickest NA trucks on this site....loose all of the weight you can! In my opinion extra weight NEVER helps.....unless you're trying to go slower.....but then again.....what do I know You can listen to the guys who run 13's or the guy who runs 11's, your choice!
i know for a fact that the guy who has no experience, and no other "lightening" mods who removes 100 lbs. from behind his axle will lose time... guaranteed...
Leave the rear bar on, it keeps the axle from trying to twist and lifting the right tire up loosing traction
