Thanks! I do pay attention to weight. Taking off weight is often better, easier on the drivetrain, and cheaper than adding hp.

I do have stock valves. I ported the heads myself. I just gave them a good street port, nothing that fancy. I had my heads flow over 5 years ago when I did them. The intake flowed 280 and exhaust around 200 but don't remember for sure.

You are so correct in that statement!

I know I could make my car faster by dropping some weight, but I'm shooting for 10s with a fully weighted car.

At this point, which was faster this Camaro or your stang?? I can't remember what your best time was in the stang.

I ran a best 10.302 @ 127.63 mph in the stang. It had more in it had I ever got it dialed in and in good air.
