13 pounds times 264 horsepower, plus 170 pounds, equals 3,602 pounds minimum weight for K.

The K/SA index is 12.65, and the record (which I would not be shooting for) is 11.39 @ 114.02.

Is my math right, so far?

Lund Racing has been 11.03 @ 122 in one with stock engine/turbo/manifolds/trans/converter, on street tires, in what appears to be a full-weight street car with air-conditioning and a license plate.

Does this combo look like something worth exploring?
NO! This is an awful combination.. please please stay away...
