I also do not think the 100lbs is a tenth is applicable when you start running 8's by any means. As preciously stated it just does not seem to pan out. HOWEVER I have seen engine combos go from a door car to a digger and they seem to have that math work a lot better than just dropping 200lbs from an 8.70 door car and running 8.50's.

In my experience it is a lot easier to get a light car to perform that a heavy one. I hear you but those calculators are more for entertainment value to me. those calculators say I should have a 1.13 60 ft not 1.32 like my car does. I still have plenty of chassis tuning left but still wont ever have a 1.13 60 ft.
