Default Finally got to the track

I finally made it to the track over the weekend. The car is at about 600rwhp at the moment due to a fuel issue. This is at a race weight of right around 4000lbs. ( I only weigh 175, if you were wondering )
R/T .056
60' 1.75
1/8th 7.35 @ 100
1/4 11.31 @ 125
Time for the car to go on a diet.

I know you have an iron block but what else do you have in that car to make it so heavy?

The car has 3.50 gears and I shift at 6k. The tires are E.T streets. It has had nothing but the sway bar removed for the track. I've even added insulation under the carpet from trunk to fire wall to quiet it down a little, as it is my only car and is driven about 15k miles or more a year. On the scale, with 3 gallons of gas and nothing in it, it weighed 3730. At the track it had a topped off tank, all my tools (including spare and jack) and drinks in it. I race it in the form I drive it everyday. It's not a race car, so I don't care how fast it is gutted. Most of the added weight is the block(100lbs.), cage (90lbs.) and blower and intercooler (50-60lbs.). Towards the end of this summer I plan on putting an F1R on it, I'm getting bored with it, and then I'll start sheding some weight off it.
