Default Typical 25.5 weight?

Ok guys just wondering what a typical 25.5 4th gen weighs. Trying to figure out where the car is going to be at once it comes back. So what do some of you guys weigh. Maybe Brady?

Personally looking at BB and Procharger so anyone with that type of setup would be nice to know what you weigh...

Thanks

a BBC and a hefty procharger with pipping will add a substantial amount of weight especially in a 25.5 4th gen...

i'd venture to say the lightest you could get it and pass tech would be 3100lb race weight....

Ya were not looking to go super light with it considering most classes say you have to be around 3300-3400 with the car

We are at 3300+ with the "Black Bitch" Pacos car with the 700 in motor and NOS is 3000. The iron block is where most of our weight is.

Now that is good to know. We're going something similiar with a procharger(non-reverse spin and not front mounted though) on gas so we'll see how it works! I'll be calling you soon enough with my order of goodies haha

Pacos car is a full floored stock style suspension car. It has been minitubbed and I used carbon tubs but the rest of the floor is there. The only piece of lexan is the windshield. The "Black Bitch" is as lite as we can go right now.

Something like a dart big M block will weigh between 280-250 "or so" depending on the bore size. The LSX I believe is 225 pounds, but will go down with a bigger bore.

Other things will vary a lot, obviously a BBC with iron heads is going to be way heavier than an lsx and aluminum heads.

As far as the block goes, thats the info I have.
