How the factory "Package" cars may save Stock

HP:WT ratio? These DP's aren't as light as some folks figure. In order to make the minimum weight for the class, we figure we only have 320 lbs to work with and the car still needs a cage, full rear end, brakes and suspention, driveshaft, fluids, etc, etc. I'm guessing and this is only a guess as of now, that the finished car should come in between 3400-3450lbs. Given that weight and Drooze gets the 3.25% he's looking for, that'll still put his car at 8.43 at 3400lbs.

you need to use 3100 as shipping weight on the DragPak with the 6.1 engine which equals 3100lb, 403 HP, equals 7.69

Gotcha. When I talked with Doug, he told me 3250. I was just going off of what he said.....Back to the drawing board.
