I have a heavy ass gaylords tonneau cover on my truck. I've been racing with it on, and now I want to take it off. About how much faster should my truck be without the extra weight. Also, will i have traction problems when i launch?? BTW, the tonneau cover is about 300+lbs.

well they say for every 100lbs is 1/10 off your quarter mile time. but that could just be jibberish. 300lbs is pretty damn heavy for a tonneau cover.

I've tried to take it off by myself but couldn't. I even had trouble just sliding it back. lol. I say it takes like 2-3 guys to take it off. Even if it's 1/10 off, thats enough for me to take it off.

yeah, thats true, but I like mine. Actually I Love Mine jejeje. Anyways with it on, i still beat alot of trucks. I guess when I go to the track i'll take a friend to help me take it off, then put it on again.

It could be that the cover gives you better areodynamics too! Should be .1 for every 100 pounds. I know you already said it! LOL

I can't believe that thing is that heavy. I pick mine up by myself and carry it. Can't weigh over 80 lbs.

Wish mine was that light. Its made out of fiberglass.
