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.

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