3,740 lbs. with 55 lbs. of ballast in the back, with driver (218 lbs.)
1940 lbs. on the front.
1800 lbs. on the rear.
Would love to find some 4 corner scales but truck scales will have to do at this point.
Thoughts? (Other than it being morbidly obese.)

It depends on how much power you make and what kind of driving you will be doing with your car  I see 51.87 % on the front and 48.12 % on the rear, not bad for a drag car with 700 HP, my current S/P car has 56.+% on the front but it weighs right at 2850 Lbs. with me in it, big tire tube chassis car that works well for me  1.24 ET in the 60 Ft., 8.86 in the 1/4 mile. Small tire lower HP stock suspension drag cars like more weight on the rear than on the front and good weight transfer also to go as fast as they can

I'm around 1800 front 1500 rear with 200lb driver. It has cut K frame, moly tube steering shaft and strut rods, light brakes, carbon fiber bumper brackets and hood. Mega block and 2 carbs add weight up front. The good thing is the wheelbase is 113" so that weight is closer to the rear. Hard to pull weight from the front.

Yeah, you can put a later B k-frame in and it moves the whole mess back 1 5/8. Not interested in doing that, though, as I may want to eventually put a crossram on the car (after I get tired of going fast) and that will interfere with the firewall with that much setback. Pretty surprised and happy with the bias. Frontend carries out quite a ways with the 250 shot now.

Sounds heavy to me Tony.. I m at 3150 with me in it.. is a big block really that much heavier than a small block?... I picked up one mph going from the Weld draglites to the Weld magnums on the front and Holeshot R3s on the rear.

Motor plates. Move it back to the firewall. Removable trans tunnel to get the trans in and out.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
