I don't undersrtand why your car is so nose heavy. 72 Demon F/S 3160 lbs is a 50/50 car. The Buckners run a 72 duster in E/SA 3060 lbs . In Super Stock with the aluminum intake you could take off at least another 20 lbs. The weight bias is not as important on a SS car because of the large hind tires.

Mine is all steel and glass except fiberglass hood. It has a 340 block and steel heads with an aluminum M-1 intake, Steel bumpers, manual steering,drum brakes up front. Interior is down to 2 plastic race seat, roll up and down windows no back seat, factory dash, 10pt roll cage, our back I have a 8 gallon fuel cell 2 group 65 batteries on the right side and 29.5x10.5 mt ET slicks and thats it. I would be curious to know how their car is so much lighter than mine ?????
