I believe he knows that... but thats not what you said the first time. You said that taking weight out of the car gives you HP and it doesn't. I can't put my car on a dyno and get 400rwhp and gut the whole interior and put it back on the dyno and make 425rwhp... Thats all he was saying. Lets not get too difficult here guys.

Dont be ignorant yes if u lose weight ur cars time will be faster. Of course your engine isnt gaining hp for every 10 lbs don't take so litteral that is just a way they have determined or caculated the decress of time on ur pass to the amont of weight taken off so yes 10 pounds does affect it ur cars time and 60 pounds would help a good bit in ur times.

So if I loose 60lbs of body fat, my car will gain 6hp?? Unlikely!

That would be stupid for every 10pounds is 1hp. (from what i hear) This is only 8 pounds u say then u wouldnt even gain 1hp out of this. So no dont that would be pointless

i took mine off a long time ago. and 8 lbs is alot when you are removing other things such as, rear seat, rear seat moldings, gutting the trunk, etc.
look under any full gut or legitimate drag car, i would bet 99 percent of them do NOT havethe dogbone.

It (the "dogbone") weighs 8 and a bit pounds, mine has been off since I installed the 3.73 gears in March--20k miles or so with no ill effects of any kind. Its purpose is 100% NVH reduction, although I can't say I've noticed any increased levels of any of the three.You'll need a couple of shorter bolts (3/8-16 x 2-1/2" if memory serves) to remount the axle snubber, which is important, and is held on by the same bolts as the dogbone.

As others have said, it is needed. It limits the amount the pinion (front) end of the differential housing can rise, and prevents the axle from winding up on hard acceleration--which can cost power and/or grenade a U-joint from an excessive drive angle...

I heard he ran for public office and it was found out that he cheated on his taxes and the Bolivian government deported his mistress because she was applying for citizenship using his wife's maiden name, ShanaEquaza Mendoza-Cardona-Vasquese-Smith.
