Yeah it's about the same. I haven't done any more weight reduction yet. I've got a k member that will be going on soon so that'll drop it some. I might get the upper and lower arms also, just dang expensive.

I already have that on you as far as k member, upper and lower control arms. I’m keeping my ac and running a heavier 4l80. I got rid of the front bumper support for a Midwest chassis one. Highly recommend it if you haven’t done that yet. Cam wise we are very close in duration but I have fully ported trickflow 235 heads. I’m curious to see how they perform

Oh ok. I've still got the 4l60 and removed all the ac stuff. I have removed all the bumper supports and left it open. I looked at the 235 heads (was told 20-30hp) as an upgrade but couldn't justify because the motor runs well and I would want to switch cam and go llsr and then rockers...and on and on. Figured I'll make the car better and lighter.

Honestly it’s not worth the money in your situation. Like you said it runs so well now it’s not worth changing all of that at this point. Still very impressed with your setup! I’m sure with a little more weight, a little bit more 60’ and that nice weather that’s coming it will be close to that 10.0s

Finally, got the K-Member on. Weighed the two 25.4 lbs difference and the room around it is amazing.

Made it to the track tonight. Need to work on keeping the nose down now. Still a personal best though.
