how much would this drop my e.t.?
Well I've got a race set up with a turbo charged big block Chevy. I think I might be able to take him. He says there's a pretty good weight differance, but a quad cab dually can't weight THAT much
How much time you you think I could drop by doing the following... installing my old 14" P205/70 tires up front at max psi yanking my passenger seat yanking my back seat cushion and the folding part pulling out my hatch floor(It's one I made out of 3/4" MDF) taking a slam pulling off my air intake ducting Any clues as to how much this would be worth?

LMAO. "Its a quad cab chevy dually" Get ya some and find out ,I used to drive one of those for work and they are not fast but I bet it al least runs an 18 flat.
I actually hope you win, but the fact of the matter is you have a 19 second car. I seen a 1 ton 4wd 4 door suburban with 4 people in it run an 18.6 @3000ft. There are just not many cars you are going to beat.

You guys take it easy on him. Josh, just try some simple weight reducing tips. Those 3500 duallys are slow as hell. My 01 F350 Turbo diesal dually spanked one a couple months ago on the freeway. It was my buddy's. I think his is a 96. So their slow as hell. ( so is my truck) Want to borrow my motor or better yet my car?? Guarantee you the dually won't win

If ya want to win by doing some major weight reduction all you have to do is line your car up as soon as the race starts stand beside it with a brick in your hand drop the brick on the gas peddle and step away from the car and let it drive on it's own. lol How your going to go appon stopping it is another story but you'll have how ever much you weight reduction. lol =) Throw ya're car into 1 or Low (Not sure what it's got), I find you get so much more power out of it.
