Has anyone done any runs to see if taking out the headlight lowers the ET's? (I have the swiss-cheese airbox.)

ratlover 07-18-2005, 11:05 AM I always do....never done any back to back comparison so I dont know if it helps but it cant hurt IMO dieselrcr337 07-18-2005, 03:16 PM I ran my truck back to back with head light on and off. but this was only in 1/8 mile and it did not make a difference. gmccall 07-21-2005, 02:55 PM No difference in the 1/8th mile for me....looks like you know something though and makes others wonder. ;) I would think some cool air would make a difference in the 1/4 mile Boost-hard 07-25-2005, 08:43 PM Any little bit helps! It will also help underhood temps. They tend to get prety hot on any turbocharged aplication. I dont know if your gonna see any difference in your E.T.'s You would have to be very consistent on your times to see if it does indeed make any difference? Good luck and let us know if you find any more out! killerbee 07-25-2005, 08:48 PM Are you going on the assumption that air will flow in, and not out, of the headlight area? Not so intuitive Boost-hard 07-26-2005, 02:49 AM Cool air going in, and if not then maby hot air out?? Whats your view? ratlover 07-26-2005, 10:52 AM Cool air going in or atleat in theory, weather it does make a difference??? Cant hurt imo, less weight):h , and all the cool dmax guys do it:rotflmao: Boost-hard 07-26-2005, 01:33 PM Thay was my hypothsis? Glad to see some one agrees? No one knows for sure, till they do it! All the Dmax's Iv ever seen at the track had the headlight removed? Maby it helps maby it dosent but it sure dosent hurt to try? IdahoRob 07-26-2005, 02:09 PM Only takes a minute to remove. I do it while waiting in the tech line. My truck runs times varing as much as 1/2sec. a run,:mad: so, hard to test if it works. I would think with the swiss cheese mod. it would help. Rob Boost-hard 07-26-2005, 03:58 PM Ya probably not so much with out the haked air box or cold air intake, but maby it also helps underhood temps. weather it's cold air going in or hot air comeing out?? Any free mods only helps!:cool: killerbee 07-27-2005, 08:21 AM This isn't my area, I bow to those with experience. My take. One important aspect of racing is flow across the CAC. I would set up the body to max that out, and get cold air that doesn't come from underhood. I will run static pressure measurement at the headlight on my truck and get back to you. That doesn't lie. | ||
