Bolt-on acceleration improvements

Sharif@Forged

30whp improvement is noticable on track. Might also consider shedding some dead weight from the car. Dropping weight is usually cheaper than adding power. The end results can be the same.

Sharif, can you chime in on the weight reduction thread on some good weight reduction & proper distribution of that weight. I am sure anyone can take out weight but doing it properly is another side of things.

That would be really helpful. Anyone can pull the spare tire out of the back, but then you just made the front:rear weight bias worse. I'm liking the Ingen intakes as my next mod since they replace the massive washer reservoir with a smaller one (less weight in front).

My original post was influenced by my recent addition of HFCs. I'm loving the audible change, but also wondering what kind of track-related improvement they would translate to.

Weight reduction is always a good thing. Balance is easily adjusted via corner weighting, and alignment/suspension settings. Naturally, you will want to make these adjustments after removing weight from the car.

Weight reduction strategy depends on how extreme you want to go, and how easily reversible you want it to be. If it's a race car, like our Time Attack 370Z, everything is removed.

Can you link me to the weight reduction thread?
