Hey guys, do you think changing to an alloy wheel, will be worth it to cut down weight? to help with a better track time?

 

depends

 

No. Unless you really think 25 lbs is really going to make a difference. If you want less weight... just take off the tailgate or something.

 

25lbs of rotating wheight is huge

 

Ok. It's huge... I thought it wasn't.. lol

well there are some numbers

15lbs off the axle gained 6hp

 

I was told the other day that every 100lbs lost, gains about 1/10th of a second. Could just be fartn' in the wind too though.

 

What I do is take off my 20" wheels and put on my factory 18" wheels when I go to the drag strip. My 20s are 83 lbs and my 18s are 65 lbs per wheel.

Looking at the size of your wheels and tires, I wouldn't waste my time going to the drag strip with those. You might want to get a cheap set for drag racing.

 

I wish my rolling combo wasn't 150+ lbs!

 

I've heard something similar 'sept the fraction is a little better.

 

LOL TRACK TIME!

 

This is a generally accepted rule of thumb and I believe it to be correct. They are speaking of vehicle weight, not rotational or unsprung weight.

 

what you laughing at?

 

This:



If you're worried about track times, take the lift off, go to stock or lighter tires and wheels for a start.......

You do have a beautiful truck though.
