Default ET TO WEIGHT RATIO

Any ideas on how much weight it takes to drop a tenth in 300ft sand drag?

THERE REALLY ISNT A FORMULA FOR THAT...ITS TOO HARD TO DETERMINE THAT....FOR INSTANCE LETS SAY YOUR SPINNING THE WHEEL TOO EXCESSIVELY.....YOU ADD 5LBS TO THE *** END AND YOU GAIN A TENTH!!!!??????......IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE RIGHT WEIGHT TRANSFER AT THE RIGHT TIME..... A SIMPLE SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT COULD HELP YOUR TIME.......BUT THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS YOU CAN DO TO REMOVE WEIGHT.....JUST DEPENDS ON IF YOUR GOING TO STAY OFF THE TRAIL RIDING AND OR THE JUMPING......YOU DONT WANT TO REMOVE ANY INTEGRITY GUSSETS IN YOUR FRAME....COULD HAVE SERIOUS ACCIDENT..........WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE WANTING TO DO....I CAN LEAD YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.....

I pretty much have everything removed weight wise that I can, besides dropping about 20lbs myself. I just didn't have any idea what kind of time differences it would make. I've got the sport down to a little under 400. I've also been thinking of going to alky, but a little scared without buying a alky carb. Don't have the extra 500 to convert to alky at this point. I'm going to see what it runs as is in 300ft. I hope to run a 5.2, I'll know in a couple of weeks.
