Default Who Is at 3200 race weight with iron block?

Looking to see what all has to be done to essentially get down to 3050-3100 without driver. If your around this weight please list what you have done to get it down to that weight!

I am mainly looking for guys with iron blocks, 12 bolt or 9" and big turbos!

If there is a thread on this I couldn't find it.

Im shooting for around this weight. the car is going to be pretty much gutted. Mini tubs, 6 point weld in cage, tube front end. No AC/, cruise control, wipers etc. only keeping abs and power steering. Im ditching the stock dash for a fiberglass one, Stripped interior with corbeau seats. This SHOULD get me around there, but only time will tell the closer to done I get with the project.

I should still be well under that, weighed 2880 with driver when it had a alum block & t56

I doubt the iron block, th400 & turbo added 320#

Im buying mine from VFN its only $280. The upper portion of my stock dash more or less shattered when i tried to pull it away from the velcro that was holding it so im kind of forced into getting one.

I have no clue what my weight is but should know soon. I have removed wipers and motor, abs pump, air pump, traction control, all heater controls, all a/c (none of it worked when i got the car and half was missing), air bags, manual windows, manual seats, catback, front sway bar, and switched to a th400. should be getting it tuned in a few weeks and will let you know. I also have a iron 6.0
