12.87 ET with no engine mods!
Using the formula
ET = (weight/hp)0.2545 x 7.4499
All I would have to do is reduce the weight of my Charger from 4525 lbs to 3000 lbs
My 14.27 ET would become a 12.87 ET, without any engine modifications.
Who needs fancy engine mods, when all you need to do is remove the interior, dash, doors, spare tire,battery. air bags, a/c, heater, carpeting, insulation,and replace the hood and trunk with carbon fiber replica's!
Why didn't someone think of this sooner?

8,
LOL.Chrysler's Direct Connection program (not a computer program) and booklets had several formulas to convertto ETs: they had an engine formula, a body styleformula and a weight formula. We used to when I was in my drag racing days: heck, we'd even bore holes in the frame for weight loss. A back seat? No way. Mirrors, radios, A/C, carpet, etc, etc, gone. Some would acid dip their car body parts or even wholebodies, and even some put in light weight plastic instead of the stock glass.If my old memory serves me correctly, I believe a plus 100 pounds is an added tenth (100 lbs is .10 sec) roughly.
Go ahead and start unbolting... but I like my Mango inmostly one piece... LOL.
But your joking isactually a good observation.
