i stood on each one of mine.then compared it to my certified propane scale at work.
the problem i found with truck scales is the number changed depending on where the car was on the scale.

i wouldn't worry about the horsepower, your making at least 500, 600 if you put it on cabs dyno

Both of Cabs dyno, once the Studka was calibrated. The air here in central Oregon with all the trees, makes lots of power All you doubters will be in big trouble when I come east on my next tour, look for the really fast blue Duster Any of you fast guys from east of the rockies coming to the MATS race If so I will make sure and put one of my good motors in the Duster for that race

Fuel weighs 6.6 lbs/gallon using a sp of .8...where water weighs 8.33 lbs/gallon.
Lighter than I would have thought. What fiberglass and weight reduction have you done?

truck scales are not real accurate at the lower readings is what I have been told by several weigh masters

---

I wondered about truck scales. They are calibrated in the upper ranges, much like a calibrated gauge, usually accurate in the upper 1/3 of their range IIRC .

I had mine weighed at a scrap yard AND at the drag strip...both places they weighed the same.

I had a '72 small block Challenger and I seem to recall it weighed right around that too.
