WR is weight reduction. which is a false statement to say it has no WR imo

Drag wheels/tires is one of the single biggest weight reduction mods you can do. Around 100 lbs and it’s rotating weight which is worth even more.

Thank you ... I looked up the DA on that time ticket
Density Altitude: -1406 feet ..Not a chance we would ever see that kind of air here in FL .. I'm surprised the track was even open in 36 Deg temps ..

It's Canada, 36 is shorts weather. Even when we do get negative d/a here the water grains are ludicrous high.

Drag times says -1000 the owner said -900. if you look at the 2pm data on dragtimes the humidity is 29% at 2pm but 40%+ at other times so i dont know exactly but it wasnt -1400

Thanks

The atx 30 re start model for 40 bucks more looks appealing as well. Still only 5 lbs, has the re start feature, more ah and cranking amps

I’m actually seeing it for 359 on some websites...

What are you using for a charger ? Wonder if my battery tender will work.

my car is my DD so no charger. You need a special charger for the Li-on batteries but unless you rarely drive your car or have a drain of some sort I dont think its needed. Also i read something about the restart feature not playing nice with a guys Boss 302 on SVTP. That was why I went with a non-restart model and guys are going 3 weeks between starts with no issues.

The re-start battery does not play nice with our charging system. I know somebody that had a lot of problems in a 6G Camaro with one of the re-start versions. Car goes dead and you can't open the trunk to hit the button for the re-start feature.

Front skinnies main advantage is that it changes to weight distribution more to the rear

Anything to take weight off the front will net huge traction gains

More weight on driven tires = more traction = more acceleration = more weight on driven tires. It’s a compound effect. It’s why a dodge demon runs anywhere from 9’s to 11’s. If you can’t get 100% of the vehicle weight (wheelie) on the rear tires you’re going nowhere
