Axle weight?

I think what everyone is failing to understand here is that lightweight axles in and of themselves are not going to give you that"magical tenth" that everyone is pursuing. Lightweight mechanical parts of any type whether they be engine components, transmission components, rear end components, brakes, wheels etc are going to produce results. Some more than others. But when combined with MANY lightweight performance parts they "MAY" or "CAN" produce the increases in performance that everyone is looking for. The results usually come in the form of HUNDREDTHS of a second in lower elapsed time or TENTHS of a second in increased MPH.By combining the correct lightweight parts for your combination you will eventually get there. If you go with that approach you "MAY " get the desired results you are looking for by using certain lightweight parts and then again it may not work for you.You have to keep trying different things--- its called testing---Just because it did or did not work for the other guy doesn't mean it will or won't work in your car. Only testing will give you your desired results--FED 387
