Has anyone noticed, or recorded or whatever, actual gains at the strip after installing a T-K.Member?

I plan on doing it no matter what...just for plain weight savings, but have a hard time finding out if anyone gained anything...

It may just changed my priorities ya know?

You won't notice much. Maybe .05-.1 TOPS! IMO when I was looking for a K-member I looked for strength (so if I wrecked I wouldn't have a motor in my lap) and handling first, THEN weight savings (why i chose max motors! My second choice was PA racing).

That's what I meant, but a coilover kit all around will help you out so you can fine tune your spring rates.

you will see gains with the whole kmember and coilover kit. My buddies Mach run 7.80s with prostars biggies and skinnys on et streets. But he never run it before he done all the work. Went 7.30s with a 75 shot spinning hard. Then he broke the rear upper control arm. They were upr's prostreet's that broke at the welds. BTW this is in the 1/8th mile.

It's more of a weight balancing thing than a weight removal thing... yeah A-arms and such are nice, but it's nicer getting closer to an ideal balance for 1/4 and open track

Click to expand...

I mean he went from a 7.80 with the kmember and then he sprayed a 75 shot and got 7.30s at almost 100mph.

K-members save about 40-60 lbs. depending on which brand you get, if I am not mistaken.

The general rule of thumb is every 100lbs lost will equal a 1/10th better ET.
