Rep Power: 0 lets see here....
no dyno as of yet... nothing to tune the car yet so no need....when the AFC makes it on the car then yeah tuning will happen.
weight reduction..... all steelies for wheels. 17's are too heavy to race on. No rear seat, no pass seat, no trunk carpet, or jack/spare. Basically the easy things to remove were removed that weren't necessary, school books etc.
proof coming for all you non-belivers [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

FWI, reaction time has nothing to do with ET... this is my brother's car he does the racing in it, haven't gotten a crack at it since I go to school in coloardo. soon though if the tracks stay open.

reaction time has nothing to do with ET. I could have a .500 and still run 15.6 or a 2.2 reaction time and have a 15.6

Rep Power: 389 I see what you are saying. I'm thinking of the race itself it matters. When you are going against the other person. Thanks for clearing that up.

Rep Power: 302 that's known as bracket racing (going against another car) when you're racing for ETs then it doesn't matter at all

the overall race would be better if he did indeed get a better reaction time. But it would not effect his E.T. R.T, dial in time and E,T are all big factors in bracket racing though.

0-60 of 2.3 isn't too bad at all.
reaction time doesn't factor into ET like everyone stated, timing starts when you pass the line...

[hr]weight reduction..... all steelies for wheels. 17's are too heavy to race on[hr]
Your steelies weight somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-19 lbs. I can go out and buy many 17" rims that weight less than 18 lbs.
What you probably meant to say was that your 14" steelies have less inertia than a 17" rim. This is the statement you want. The reasoning behind the smaller rim and faster time lies in the torque required to turn the wheels. Smaller rims have a smaller moment (torque) arm and therefore provide faster starts. Your 14's take less torque to turn, so they get rolling faster. Smaller rims also give you more sidewall... drag racing is one of very few places where big sidewalls are a good thing.... They can "bunch up" (for lack of a better term) so there is a recoil effect and less tirespin. Low sidewall tires are not as flexable since they have less of a sidewall to compress. This is the reason pro drag cars have huge sidewalls and small rims.
You're partially right... 14's are better than 17's to drag race on... but not because they're lighter... it's because they have less inertia.
