The scales might be off, but they were running super gas, super comp., and stockers that weekend. If the scales were off I'd think that they would have caught it???? There's alot of added weight with a procharger, i/c, and meth injection with the tank.

I will b running at muscle car. Hopefully we will see you there. I really wouldnt be to worried about your weight. That setup seems to be making plenty of steam. Or maybe you are going for the 7.50 cert cage? lol! Maybe a couple sand bags in the trunk??? Real bias slicks?

Well I put discs all the way around on my car last week, way lighter and stops way better. I used Wilwoods Pro Street kits front and back. I weighed stuff on a bathroom scale, not super accurate but gives me a rough idea.


Front brakes saved 44 lbs
rear brakes saved 12 lbs
pulled heater core and blower motor 15 lbs

total 71 lbs

Went and weighed it at the track Friday morning and they said it was 3555 What the....Before I did the brakes it was 3550,
