Whould removing my belt before racing help any?
Someone once told me that, if I was to remove my belt (serpentine) right before I ran the 1/4 mile, it would give me a noticable differance in time and power, is that true?
It would give me power because my power stering would be off, ac off, smog pump, ect.... Right? Or is this a waste of time?
If it did give me better ET's, how much are we talking 3/10ths?

I'd wanna keep that water flowing in there while my engine screams in the 5-6K RPM Range. I've heard of people doing it, but my advice would be not to risk it. Is it worth your engine for 1-2 tenths MAYBE ? nah...
