ATV you have gotten a TON of weight out of the car. 2550 is a very good #.
I'd like to see what you did with the engine bay, and under the car. Did you cut the metal out that's behind the rear bumper cover outside the frame rails too? And did you hole saw, or cut out any of the metal that's behind the rear interior panels? What about under the front 1/4's?

If I put a tall deck motor together and any nitrous on it at all there should be no issues.
No doubt Bob and Jay do some killer work... I really want to get my car down to them when I have everything done that I can do myself.

Sounds like you guys are making some good headway in the weight department.
I wish I was as light as you guys, but I've still got a large chunk of iron between the fenders.
I come in at 3270 to 3290, but I am 6'7 and 370 lbs myself....LOL
Post up some damn pictures will ya!

Right, that's what I figured.
You guys do the side exit out the front or behind the front tire? With the cutting I assume that you did, there's lots of room out the side behind the front tire, at least it looks like there is to me.. and there's some firewall there in the corners on both sides that could be notched out too if need be.
The exhaust rule is the only down side to the 8.50 class I've found at this point. But then again you guys are aiming for over a second faster then what I need... so the rules for your stuff needs to be alot more open.
Very interested to see what you've done with the car.

Wow that seems real light! Nice 
Out of curiousity, what is the typical "bottom line #" when it comes fbody weight reduction goals? Just wondering how light guys are getting them to be?
