Iron Ram heads from Hughes

50 lbs does help some. Especially at the front of the car. The old standard rule of thumb was .1 sec for every 100 lbs. that would only make it .05 sec faster according to that but due to the weight dist being better it may be .1 sec. It helps for sure but it's not a tremendous gain.

Don't forget that .1 gain in 60' can be worth .2 in the quarter, which is where the real effect of lightening the front of the car comes in, not to mention the positive effects on how the car reacts.

If I can spend a little more money, make my car hook better, and pick up .1 (or more), and not have to lift some mega heavy heads (LOL!) that's way worth it to me.

Heres the article I was referencing earlier:
