Mehh, I would run at a lighter weight and run the Pro Mod 85.

With that said watch out for a billet 80 @ 2800 coming to X. I have not seen a single car running at 2800lb so it should be interesting

I've been looking over the weights and options, and I'm just not sure. I think the record is 4.49 by a MF85 right? I think something like this would be a strong 4.60 contender, maybe dip into the 4.50s.
