The answer to Tess's horsepower trivia question

[Darringer, Chris]

A while back Tess asked listers for a modification that reduces weight AND
increased horsepower in a 90/80q.  The answer, I believe, is to remove the
passenger side headlight.  Not only do you save all the weight of a
headlight (and if yours is filled up with water like mine, thats a lot!),
but you get a very nice breeze right into the air intake, which is hidden
right behind the assembly.  Who knows, on a long straightaway, that positive
air pressure could equate to some extra power.  I make no claims about
effectiveness, but I did see the Bennetts use this trick at the Virginia
City hillclimb...
