Default And The Answer Is...

Only 3 of the 12 that voted got it right....


The Stock Ford piece that weighs 12 lbs was the winner.
TOM KIRKHAM..It made 18 more HP than the Aluminum Damper which made the least amount of power.

In quarter mile times
Assumptions at this point are that each 100lb reduction in weight reduces ET by .10 seconds while each horsepower gained will also reduce ET by .10 seconds.
The aluminum hub weighs 2.5lbs. while the OEM 427 damper weighs 12 lbs. By sheer weight difference alone, the vehicle should be .0095 seconds quicker with the aluminum hub by virtue of weight. Now, the 427 damper made 18 more horsepower which makes it .18 seconds quicker. The net difference is that the 427 damper will be .085 seconds quicker the aluminum hub or almost a full tenth quicker.
