Default TH350. How much weight do I need to drop?

I have a bolt on car with a TSP Tv.2. It is currently an M6 but I have a RMVB, braked, freshly rebuilt TH350 with a TCI 4000 stall and a Cheetah shifter. I know 350s aren't the best with F bodies because of their weight but I was curious as to what I could pull and make it a streetable car? I have a set of GW Dragstars up front and a VFN hood. I have also done the ABS delete when I installed my Moser 9". Does anyone think this guy will survive leaving off the brake?

? dont understand the question at hand. So you are saying that a TH350 will add alot of weight to your car? It wont, it not being streetable, it will. I had the same setup as you are talking about and it was very steetable.

think he means the higher ratio 1st gear vs the lower ratio of the 60e.....with the verter you have and the brake i think you will be fine....

Chevelles, Monte Carlos, Camaros, etc all weighed 3400-3800lbs. Most had 350's and were used and abused.
