Should be well under 3000 unless you're a 300 pound guy, the mini tub will help if you want to drop weight, if you do a full size tub with 40" tubs and cut out the rear fender area and t-top hump like I did you'll lose at least 90 more pounds.
Also since it is a drag only car consider a 5 gallon fuel cell vs. the stock tank.
