Solder is a different weight than aluminum.
This is why I asked.
Going faster, in your application, is good to hear. This is not a clear and definitive route to take for all applications.
And once you go to far, a new one is not available but a core would provide a replacement.
The AVS & TQ may have adjustable secondary air door settings but they were not designed for the public to fool with them even though they could. To say they were designed that way, for the public to screw around with, is an insane statement and even crazier to actually believe in.
The counterweight is not aluminum. Irrespective of the material, do you really think it would be hard to add the weight back in? I can think of at least four ways to add weight back in, with adjustability.
It was probably 1976, when I was 17 years old, when I figured out that the air valve was adjustable on AVS. Back when the Mancini family ran the place and raced cars, they would give pointers on how to adjust the air valve base on suspension and track conditions to get the best 60 ft time.
As I was typing this, I thought that I would look in the DC bulletins. Regarding the AFB, they say ".....remove a 1/4" of metal from the counter weight for quicker opening...."
I must be crazy. There is no doubt in my mind that they made the AVS and TQ adjustable for a reason.
