Default Another et question??

My car has the mods in the sig and weighed 2967 before I installed a UMI k-member, a-arms, madman rack, spohn rear drag bar, and replaced the exhaust with bullets. Should the car get in the 6s in the 1/8? I thought that it would considering how light it is and how low the other Trex cam only guys are going. What do you guys think?

Well, I bought the car at the end of last year and have been making changes every since. I haven't had it at the track yet. But I was told that before any of the stuff I did, it ran a best of 7.31 with a 1.5x 60ft. This was supposedly on a bad tranny, shifting 1k rpms too early(bc of the tranny problems), and with a 4000 stall on slicks. The tranny is now new, has a 5k stall, and MT 275/60 Street radials. And I have removed some more weight.

Well, it went a 6.99 on the only pass that hooked. It has more in it. I wish I would have left harder on that run. It had a 1.48 60ft and ran the 6.99 at about 97mph. It pulled the wheels about 6 inches or so. The suspension is working very well.

A/c, heat, radio, etc..is long gone. Yeah, that was supposed weight of the car when i bought it. I do need to get it weighed again. I am going to do the ABS delete this week or next. But I am adding some SFCs and a driveshaft loop so that will put some weight back on.
