weight or power
 
i have a low college style budget, but do have some money for upgrades. i have the option of adding around 10hp to the wheels, or dropping 150lbs, which would you choose because i can only do 1

What's the method of doing these changes?

This.
Also, a balance of both can be done if you want.

Weight lose:
-Junk in the hatch area
-Relocating the battery to the rear

Both of which are easy DIY projects

Powerrrrrrrrrrrrrr. As captain slow would say.

Rip out the spare and add the power. Done deal.

In this range 10 hp = about 100 lbs.

ugh. captain slow is James May, you are quoting Clarkson.

I would do test pipes/high flow cats and k&n panel filters if I were on a budget.

Powerrrrrrrr can be both sir. Please reference captain slow performing his first super car review with the zonda targa where he floors it down the air strip;)

On a real to the op, just add the power and remove the weight. Done deal.

Yah who the hell needs a heavy windshield anyway? Just remove that too.

i can either have fiberglass nrg seats, which only weigh 11lbs each, or install a tuner, which adds about 15hp (on top of other future upgrades). or, i just remembered, new springs

Dragster 08-28-2011 09:24 PM
