Well, its funny you ask, because I actually know what it weighs as a roller, and I was shocked....Its already 2000lbs with no drive train! I had it scaled the week I got it. I noticed, after the fact, the rear frame was mandrel bent 2x4 steel instead of the usual 2x3! The damn thing has a Truck sized frame under it!

So my plan is to run this beast on Meth with an 8-71 and make around 1200hp at 12psi or so....So the only things not decided are 528 or 540, and what rotating assembly? Blower will be TBS, and injection will either be Killer Rons or Alky Digger.....With EFI added later.

I just ditched the stock dash and put in a glass one, plus a moly cage....Gonna watch weight where ever I can.
