if it's real heavy I doubt it will react quick enough for a .4 protree.





Dont feed the troll(me)




to the original poster, my car is 3350 pounds with a similar ( stockish) suspension, and a good brake. I have done a lot of 400 tree racing..if i am really on my game, i can go .430's at night, and a little slower during the day.

the higher rpm you launch at will help, and staging as deeply as possible will as well. but lighter cars have a real big advantage, all else being equal. Its just a fact something lighter is going to start to move quicker, as compared to something heavier.

you wont ever see heavy cars in 8.90/9.90 racing for this and other reasons, where the .400 tree is used.



a .430 light down here will put you on the trailer 9 times out of ten.




Tony, i'd like to see them trailer me with my heavy 65 Dodge & 65 plymouth Hemi belvedere. i got these cars reacting sick fast or maybe its my lightning fast reflexes
