In theory it will be quicker, though only fractions of a second, but it will also allow for higher useable output!

Re: 70% complete 172RWD!
Put a larger fuel tank in the front, it would solve two problems. Only downside would be the balance of the car would change as you get low on fuel. Would be good to have a fuel cap in the middle of the bonnet, certainly unique not that this project isn't already!
