Min assembly weight effect on ET
If you were able to lose 100 grams off your rod/piston weight. How much ET difference would you see? I’ve looked all over trying to find an answer with no luck.

Re: Min assembly weight effect on ET
100 grams * 8 = 800 grams / 1.7637 lbs
Let say that weight is at a 4" radius with an acceleration rate of 2500 RPS. Stan |

That depends on where and how much weight was removed. Is the part now no longer as strong as it needs to be, and it is flexing which will cost you more HP than the weight saving gave you? Stan |

Re: Min assembly weight effect on ET
I have to disagree Stan. I believe the OP is referring to his LT 1 stocker and he is blueprinting the piston/rod combo to achieve the minimum weight spec set by NHRA. I dont believe he is in any danger of weakening or flexing any stocker parts…

Then you should be fine. I took it as you were going to lighten the parts you had. Stan |
