Default Anyone planning on going to HRP Friday 23rd or Sunday 25th? (new setup almost done)

Haven't decided which day I wanna go, but car should be done sometime at the end of the week. The only thing I'm lacking is my rear end. I'm so eager to get out and start racing again as its been 4 months since I had it to the track last and 3 of those months its been down. Here is a quick overview of what I've been doing to the car lately. I'll list it old to new.

Century 200-4R > TransKing TH350 w/reverse manual valvebody & transbrake

Yank PT4400 > Protorque 5200

Stock A4 shifter > Hurst Pistol Grip Quarter Stick

Strange 12 bolt w/4.10 gear & posi > Strange 12 bolt narrowed 3" per side w/4.56 gear & spool

Spohn 25mm swaybar > Wolfe anti-roll bar

Bogart 15x10 w/7.5" backspacing Bolted RT > Bogart 15x10 w/5" backspacing, no spacer Floyd RT

26x10x15 ET Drags > 29.5x10.5x15 ET Drags

Bogart Bolted RT 15x4 > Bogart Floyd RT 15x3.5

165R Metric fronts > Moroso DS-2

Stock rear brakes > Strange rear drag brakes

3" true duals w/H-pipe & Dynomax bullets dumped at axle > Dynomax bullets after header collector turned down & out

More weight reduction

Stock 346. The heads have never been off the car and the only thing that I've touch on the bottom end of the motor are the rod bolts. Replaced them with Katech. Other than that, its a cam only bolt on car.

Are you asking how much it weighs? If so, last time I was out, it was around 3050, but should be close to 3000 if not below and thats with me in it. I won't be able to go today because I wont receive my rear end till sometime next week. I'll have it back together in no time and ready to either race on Friday or Sunday. I hope to run 10.50s first time out and hopefully dip into the deep 10.30s this winter. We'll see how it goes.

It'll definately be close. I know he's running 10.50s now and that was with 1500 ft. DA. When I ran my old setup with 1900 ft. DA, I was running 10.70s. Density altitudle makes a huge difference in ET/MPH. I'm sure with comparable DA, I would be in the 10.50s easy. Not gonna get my hopes up or set my goals too high, so we'll just have to see. I'd be happy with a 10.40 cam only with winter weather, so that's officially my goal.
