100 pound loss = how much HP gain???

I've tried to have this not linear discussion a million times...
You can only imagine if you spent 35 or more years racing a-bodys that should go 17 or 16 seconds down to 14 or 13 and possibly even one 12 LOL that if I continue down this little bit of weight loss here in a little bit more horsepower there I should have no problem doing 11s or 10s... But I'm sure as anybody knows that has done 11's or 10's.... IT'S NOT LINEAR!!..
Controlling 10 or 11 second traction and suspension become exponentially as well...
318 I know you will do it.. if you're like me and you set your mind to it it's going to get done... but I assure you it's not going to be the linear results you seen in the past.. if this was the case then you could just go the opposite route and not lighten the truck and build it to do an 11-5 and then just start taking bumpers and heater box is off to lighten it up... And end up at a 10.99...

This topic wasn't about my truck, or any car in particular. Everyone keeps talking about ET slips, and the faster you go the harder it is. I know that. I knew that before some people ever made a pass at the track. My question wasn't about ET slips, it was strictly about what a 100 pounds was worth in HP. In other words, if you had two Dusters that each had a 340 and they ran identical. If one gave his buddy a ride that weighed 200 lbs, how much hp would he have to add to have his buddy feel the exact same power as the Duster feels without the buddy? The answer: Nobody here knows.. LOL, so we'll talk on traction, and 10's vs 12's, etc etc... LOL

P.S. - you still have no clue how fast (or slow LOL) I've gone, so don't pretend you do.... and no, you'll never get another ET slip from my past
