I’m launching off a two step at 5000-5500.
How much time will I gain in 1/8?

Usually start my burnout at 10-10.5# of air cold.
Dang I thought it was greater of a savings than 125lbs, but still a big difference.

It's a very big drop. Just wish it was weight off the front end and not the rear.
Op, are you getting too much traction or not enough with the 5k drop? I’m thinking the air there is sapping 75-100whp from your efforts.
Up here, at 5000ft we have da some days of 3800, other days 7500... trap speed can vary 5-10mph with this crap.
I’m guessing you get some spin then almost a light bog?

You nailed it. A slight spin then a little bog. My lack of suspension killed me this year!! Watching in slow motion the car would squat then immediately unload the rear of the car. I think this has a lot to do with my crappy times as well as the altitude zapping some hp.
If I can’t run a respectable time I’m strongly thinking of hitting it with a 50 shot. Although im going to do suspension first and see what it nets me.
A lot of people up hear hit a 50-100 shot to leave harder.
I’m going to try to get the car dialed in first. I’m sure I have a lot to be gained with all matching Team Z suspension and some effort on maximizing it.
How much does your car weigh? I thought it'd trap a bit higher. Was this Fontana or Irwindale?
That was at Barona and I never got around to putting it on the scales. Rear seat delete, kirkeys and a tubular chromoly front end for weight reduction, then a 80lb MM 6pt roll bar to bring the weight back up.
