If I want to remove weight out of my car I just let Randy drive it. He's at least 125 lbs lighter!

It looks like skinnies are about 60 lbs off the car. So if I pull 60 lbs out somewhere else it's just to mimic that weight drop.

thats amazing, plus that rotational weight as well. Other ideas could be swapping out the battery for lighter one(some use motorcycle batteries at the track), passenger seat which is like 40lbs, the rear seats, engine cover, and lastly i remember seeing you say you were swapping cats and midpipes but if you left the stock mufflers on, those things are close to 30lbs each.

You could always buy a lighter car instead of trying to make a pig fly.

I hear ya I had a C5Z once but I sold it since they stopped making them 8 years ago.

I have LT's, CATS + stock mufflers.

Funny, but I've never had a lightweight battery in all of these years of LS modding, but I'd like to mess with one some day.

I let a friend drive my car at LS Fest and he said it was 4175 on the scales with him, he's 210 like me. Ouch. That's with the exhaust work. Does that sound right?

I can see where I can get 130-140 lbs out but some of it would be ghetto track only stuff.

I'm not going to add a converter until I've maxed the car out as is. I'll do a converter in the spring (or a power adder?). If I power adder I'm shooting for 10.9's.

At Byron, I was 4,075 with me in it and 30 lbs of cargo. Take out my 175 body, that puts the car at 3870 give or take a few pounds... (roughly 1/2 tank) -- My actual race weight w/o the cargo is 4,045 -- still kinda chunky.

If I ever get near a scale again, I'll be curious to see how my current wheels have further altered that number. I guess that at the same 1/2 tank, I'd be in the 400x-401x range.. So close to sub-4K..

only time i weighed was like 5 minutes after filling up so i was just under 4200 lbs. so yes it is a tub of lard for sure.
