Im with DVW on this.....i race in a class that most people lighten the car , then add weight to the front. Im saving a TON of money by keeping the stock front end so far.
I have complete stock front end. I know from doing it to my sons duster, that you can lose an easy tenlbs by trim the lip of the K where its spot welded together and reweld it.
My plan now is to put Hotchkis upper arms, and eventually coil overs to get rid of the T bars and the mounts in the frame. Other than that like DVW, i dont see for drag racing whats so wrong with the stock parts, other than weight and Oil pan design.
Dont get me wrong, these K frames are nice, and they do free up a bunch of room and loses a lot of weight, but for me 4k is hard , LOL
