Scale is always turned off at track. My guess is 3400+ with me in it. I'm pretty happy with mph

Going back to track tonight. Changes made are a lil preload on rear drag bar, 74n 64f jetting. 50/50 mix of 93 octane and vp110 fuel, and 24* total timing. Stuck with the 4.11 gear still tried the 3.89 gear on the road too noises no matter how I set it up. Wonder how much it will pick up!!!
