    Default Weight

    Looking for numbers pertaining to un-sprung weight and gross vehicle weight. Specifically, X amount of weight reduction compares to X increase in horsepower or something along those lines. I know there are a few equations out there. Also, how reductions in un-spring weight, specifically in the wheels and tires, affects output to the pavement.

    Thanks for any links.
