If some one had 300 pounds in there trunk due to a system is that holding a tl back? Also if they took the 300 pounds out will they gas be better

 

Roughly 100 lbs = 1 hp. And yes you will get worse gas mileage because now you need to accelerate 300 extra pounds.

 

^^Bingo!

Your car has to work harder, thus using more gas! In the, put your tl on a diet thread, they recommend you don't fill your tank up all the way to full cause it adds extra weight, but this is only for the hardcard TL racers.

 

Did you even think about that question before you asked it? Why do you think they need huge semi trucks to pull a trailor with a heavy payload on it. Of course 300 lbs is going to slow you down and decrease economy. Its just simple physics.

 

The answer is obvious....unless you are asking a trick or sarcastic question here.

 

It was just a question fellas./.. Ty

 

Also fellas on this site do they show you how to wire your amp back to factory? I searched and couldnt find it

 

Well, this has been beat to a dead horse quickly, but yes... it does make a difference. Honestly, though... the TL is not a hardcore race car, so if the system will make you happy, just put it in there. If you don't like it, you can take it back out.

 

You get the picture.

 

:gheywave:

 

+2

 

I think 300 lbs is going to feel like a lot more power lost than 3 hp. I think it will feel more like -15-20hp.

 

I'd have to agree with that! The 100 lbs = 1 hp formula implies that doubling the weight of the vehicle would only cost the equivalent of about 38 horsepower?!

 

How do you wire it back to factory? Um undo the wiring you put in.....Are you OK man? Your questions um.....

 

it's fuzzy math. very complicated.

 

well, 300lbs is about 7% of the TL's weight, so I'd think your car balance and thus handling would be really screwed

 

:smh:

 

wait.... i have another question for u tho...... wut fucking system do u have that is gunna put down 300lbs...?!?! the magnets must be hugggggeee!! like 2000rms

 

how is it possible that people ask questions that are this stupid?

 

Jesus guys, give the guy a break, it was a simple question. I bet none of you have ever asked questions that others thought were "stupid"...

 

Nice illustration but that's more than 300lbs.

 

hes prolly doin EVs, RCFs or Beymas... 12"+ maybe even 2 18" for bass

 

dude i cant tell you...i have about 200lbs and the car lags....i took the box out to glass the sides n make it all nice on the inside of the trunk. i took the car for a rip around the block i almost didnt put the box back in.... it was haulin ass more so than with the box in the trunk

 

ty to the guys who answered my question, f the rest of you guys...

 

I just removed the spare tire and tools out of the trunk. Won't notice a diff but just knowing I've done something to lighten the vehicle somewhat makes it worth it. If that makes sense? Sorta..

add the UR Crank Pulley and CAI and I'm golden

 

You'll notice a difference when you're unable to change a flat

 

and the gas sucks i dropped.....6 miles per gallon when i go on anything longer than a 12 hour drive. from 32 to 26 mpg

 

haha.. 26 is still good.. my s4 would get like 12

 

Throws off the handle a lot (IMO), esp around sharp turns

 

idk about that. today i had 500 extra pounds with me (3 passengers in the back seat) and it felt like i was pulling a trailer. it felt way more than just a 5hp loss. more like a 50 hp loss.

 

to be honest, unless I'm driving outside the city in the mountains, I won't ever use the spare. BCAA has me covered.
