Then NHRA needs to be more specific about what they do instead of causing more questions & confusion. If they allowed Mopar to post for their aluminum center sections and pay out for their use for years, how can anybody think that they are not legal? Why would Mopar spend the money and post for something that isn't legal?
Yes, 10lbs can be a small performance advantage because it can be relocated to a better location. But it's considerably less than the aftermarket brakes that are allowed! As far as unsprung weight, the benefit is negligible in a drag car. It would be a bigger advantage in Nascar, offroad, etc. where there is considerable and constant suspension travel.
