Adding Weight

Mike Gray · Yesterday, 03:35 PM

Adding 150lbs is a little harder than I thought. I have to separate it into permanent weight with a welded nut, removable weight bolted to frame/ chassis and a weight box for adjustment. Before I go through all this how much ET difference am I looking at with a low 10 sec. big block car? I would imagine the 1/10 per hundred is not the same for every combo.

I've seen cars not lose a tick after adding 100 lbs. My guess... you lose a tenth. Report back.

Thanks
If I don’t lose much I would rather add the weight and go down a class. I need a couple of tenths either way to be more competitive. The index difference is three tenths and if I only lose one it’s like finding a couple of tenths. Seems like a logical choice except the lower class has about double the amount of cars.
