100 pound loss = how much HP gain???

076"]That is what I was looking at also. But, the faster you go, the more HP it takes to lower the ET. But no matter how fast you go, a 100 lbs should create the same equivalent hp regardless on how much that drops your ET. So, Wallace is really saying X weight and ET = X amount of HP. But, no matter the ET or MPH, what is 100 lbs loss equivalent too in HP gains?

No, It become exponential because the faster you go the harder it is to push the air out of the way. The car has the run through the air. That’s a drag and pressure. The air is pushing against the car. The faster you go toward pressure (air) it increases the need for horsepower exponentially. The same with weight. Air is weight against the car.

While a loss of weight may equal more HP in time, it’s the available power needs to go faster grows huge. As said, this is not a linear thing.
