You could start the car put it in gear and get out and it wouldn't move. I still have to figure out what the 283 is going to want. Alot depends on rpm also. You can run real low base if your leaving at 8400-8600.
If you look at a softlok, the levers are very meaty on the counter weight side. Even with NO c.w. there is stll a certain amount of c.w. involved. That's why your friend cut off the end of the levers. Just bringing people up to speed in case they didn't know.
