Well the car would weigh 3620 with me in it and no weight in the weight box. So i always had 50 pds at least in it to be at B weight. So that puts me 210 heavy to make A/S weight. The car had some lead bolted to the frame looks to be about 80 pds?, has 2 batteries 50 pds?, has tri city launcher springs, I believe when I switched our wagon to cal-tracs and mono's we saved at least 50 pds?, plus has all the air grabber stuff on hood yet 20pds?. So I think I can get there. I want to redo the cage so it fits better also. What does chrome moly save you on a 6 point type cage? My main concern is making the car hook with all the weight out of back. This year with the springs and shocks that were in it I always had the car 50 pds heavy to make hook. Was always a balncing act between jump and spin and monster wheelstand like 20 pds between good-spin-and "HOLY S**T"

hoping cal-tracs fix that! I want 3 foot wheelies not 8 foot wheelies

Thank your gentlemen love the pics and info. Just don't see many I know the few in d-1 and enjoy them all. Need one to make it to the winner circle at e-town next year. Didn't know they ran that heavy, how are compareable to other mopar body styles as far as competitive and ability to run the number?

Looks like about a 30% weight savings. Here's a couple of threads to check out.
