not worth the $ nor effort, nothing to be gained on the time slip.

Go Lithium has some nice lightweight batteries. 8 lbs. if your car is at it?s minimum weight already and has a good consistent 60 Ft times then changing batteries might no net and improvements in the ET. If you need to get 30 lbs off of the scale weight then it will be a good way to loose the weight. And probably pick up .02-.03

Not really worried about et gain.. I just know adding 40lbs on the front of my car effected how my car works.. (still works good) just taking that 40 from rear and putting it up front was the effect I was trying to overcome.. and no I dont want to just add more weight to the rear to make the balance what it was before

I ran an Odyssey PC925 for several years in my 68 Camaro, and it cranked a 13:1 SBC with no issue.

Yet, your response is, not worth the $ nor effort, nothing to be gained on the time slip.

So, that's some irony if I've ever seen it.

so you reply to this thread NOT to offer your opinion to the OP, rather comment about my reply, my opinion.

Feel better now?
