Assume you have 420hp, and the car was 3250lbs, and
you saved 15lbs:

420hp (3250/3235) = 421.94745

So the results for acceleration are as if you gained about 2hp.

I just did it 2 nights ago....
The good part is that it only takes about 5-10 minutes to do!
I am not sure that the weight savings I have heard is true though. Seems more like 5-7lbs, but I didn't do it for the weight savings....I did it for the looks and horsepower increase !
