Re: New Best Time

360 lbs of weight reduction and 3 1/2 tenths quicker. The old math seems to hold true. One tenth for every one hundred pounds.

Re: New Best Time

Yeah I was using that as my benchmark when tuning the fuel and timing tables for the Holley EFI. I wanted to get within 3 tenths of the old time when I was done based on the weight reduction.
