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?

and ...... 11.03 @ 122 with the factory IRS... really a true stocker lol ... no sissy straight axle conversion... I see some 2010 and newer camaros and challengers,2015 and newer mustangs in the 8's and 9's retaining the factory independent rear suspensions (with upgrades of course) .. maybe its time to rescind the rear axle conversion rule for say 2008 and newer traditional stockers, (after all it's not 1965 anymore, some one in here did say "it's 2018" ) and keep the COPO,DRAG PACK and COBRA JET back halved 4 link FS cars in FS and SS, not prowling around in regular stock classes in disguise ......
