Understanding all of the things John just mentioned......and you have a worked out car......

The standard in SCCA GT-1 and GT-2.......

100# lbs added to the weight of the car will slow it down 1 second.....

This is standard procedure ......and it doesn't matter where you put the weight...... most of the time we were adding lead to the bottom of the chassis in the rear...... but you can add it anywhere and slow the car down......

However if it's an Aerodynamic advantage ...then you will gain the second back.....such as KMP 259 has the flat bottom plates and diffuser and wing......and still weighs in at 2630 and is faster with the Aero package and 100 #lbs then without......
