Well, last time I went to the scale I was 2980lbs, now look at me now, 2860lbs. All I did was the crap out from behind the dash. LOL

My mods are headers, p&p tb, 3.73 10 bolt. I can't keep a tranny in it long enough to get drag radials and get a true accurate time. I just hope with a built 6Oe and a 4000 yank and some m/t I can hit 11.9

I still want to do Tubular K-Member and A Arms, Lexan glass front, back and sides, VFN hood, light weight hatch, fuel cell. That might be close to 2500 maybe

I would love to go from 12.56's to mid 11's, it feels sooooo strong from a 2nd gear roll at 55mph, i cant go from a dig i have street tires. I think with the right setup I can hit 11's, if not then something is wrong
