Bap is an unknown quantity at this point
I have heard from some where that every 4 pounds of rotating mass you gane or loss is ruffly equivlent to 1 horse power gained or lost through the drive train. so what ever weight svaings or pound packing wheels you put on the car the 4/1 ratio only appleys to the drive wheels and the rest adds or sutracts to the cars weight. so if you free up about 12 pounds off your wheels you might gain about three hps. hope that helps.
