Didnt get that far, just got gross weight.
be a few more weeks, final susp. set up and scale is one of the last things we do. Anything under 53% front we can make work.

We switched to Hoosier 235s. Less tread width and lower weight puts more # on each square inch.

I went from 3130 last year to 2960 this year and my best et at 3130 was 4.99 and 60' was 1.18. My best at 2950 has been 1.15 and 4.88. Those times are with identical tuneups.
