Weight Reduction (postwhore)

[BDIX]

yes I am the GM tech PostWhore.


but I hope some of the questions I have asked have became useful?



but I need to know what is best weight reduction wise?


I just removed spare tire and jack and swaybar... those are the only ones I can really think of.. anything else? air pump I heard weighs 16oz... I shit that much... so its not worth buying a new belt

Maybe you, yourself, should skip a meal?

[BDIX]

:lol: got me.. I'm about 215lbs... dont feel like losing weight... racings just a hobbie ;-)

[SStillSSmokin]

Back seat and seatbelt assemblies are around 25 lbs. Empty that HUGE winshield washer resevoir? Also, check out LS1Tech, the Drag racing Tech forum has a weight reduction sticky that lists about everything you can remove, along with weight savings.

[Whaazup17]

-light weight wheels
-spare tire

-carpet & insulation

take out the engine. it weighs the most

[myltwon]

paint weighs alot too sand it to the bare metal and leave it

[BUNNY]

I relocated the battery to the rear.

[djzstang1]

egr set up and lines.
air pump and lines (its not belt driven on ls1's so you dont need a new belt..)

i never thought of that. does anybody else do this?

[B4C]

I don't. I have tried it before on the street. Maybe 10 hp. You can't go far tho.
Maybe if I get stuck at a time landmark

[gator]

short belt mod is worth a solid 0.05 (5 hundredths) in my experience. its mostly a dyno cheating mod.

[Pennywise]

ya just think if you put them all togather,racin naked with no paint, jumpin up and down,with no doors,trunk or hood and with a chopped top, you would for sure be the coolest kid in town

[Sneakin Deacon]

jumping up and down does nothing...yea, its lighter for a second, and then heavier as soon as you come back down. inertia sucks.
