Don't waste your time on using the trucks scales tsk there set up for heavy weight so 3000 lb cars may weigh + or - 300 from what they actually weigh on a good scale. Reach out to some of the local drag and roundy round racers to find someone that has a set of 4 corner car scales and weigh it on them, weigh it without you in it and then reweigh with you in it to see what the car has front to rear and right to left balance scope
I weighed my Duster on one of the Oregon state truck scales and it weighed 3150 with me in it, it weigh 3450 at the Las Vegas MATS race two weeks later with me in it shock work shruggy

Correct.
Go to a buddy with four corner scales. If you were up in the East and over to the right, I'd lend you mine, but you are to far left.LOL.

congrats Dom. Killer 60's.
if the truck scale is a CAT scale, they are very accurate.

Congrats Dom... when it comes to scales.. if they
are selling a product I can guarantee that it will
be on the heavy side.. they sure wont be on the light
side when people are paying for a product.. I have been
on 4 corner scales and ran across the local scale that
is selling truck loads of stuff... there scale was 16#
on the heavy side... you have to make sure they zero
on every time you roll on... and I ran into the office
to see the zero(all of 20' away)
EDIT
I went to a junk yard(they pay for scrap weight)
and I was 65# lighter... imagine that .. on the
way out they weight you again... my truck grew
some how while I was there on the way out

A 3.93 330 equates to a 9.79. My car has gone 1.36 but my best ever et is only 10.14, a 1.36 is a 9.79, there's no way in the world mine would have ran that.

Jason gave me a "real world" # of between a 9.59-9.64ish 137-138 mph based on his proven formula but the bottom line is we don`t race math we race tracks and we`ll see what it "really" runs soon enuff..............

1.33 is also my best 60 ft. but my best ET is 6.21 @ 110.59. I need to figure out what my problem is down track. When I ran the 6.21 my 60 ft. was only 1.39 with the ProSystems 1050 carb on it. My best 60 ft. of 1.33 was with a untuned 950 HP but only ran a 6.29 @ 108 mph. I lost 60 ft. time when I put the Dominator carb on it but picked up a .08 and 2 mph. I need to get my 60 ft. back to where it was.


1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

True enough, i hope you achieve your goal, a 60ft like that is definitely a good start.
