I missed that.

!Weight threads:
My 93 will be around a three thousand pound raceweight with ac, power steering, two leather seats, a 10 point, and all interior panels. I'm not done yet though, but there's good ideas.

Jantzer98ss' threads. His car will be around a 2500lb raceweight. Some of his stuff is what some would consider a little crazy, but it works and looks awesome:

looked through the links thanks for taking time to collect them all

there is NO way i would do any of that to my nice car.

no sawzall will touch my car, no unbolting of safety equipment

i had to replace the carpet with the new roll cage, i went with a 'replacement' carpet that is quite a bit lighter which is good but it is genuinely shitty carpet and i would rather have stock nice carpet and deal with the weight.. and i would not surprise myself if given the chance i rip this stuff out throw it away and put stock carpet back in there.

everybody sets their stuff up different. i like my car as a good useable comfy well rounded vehicle.. no hollowed out race car.

i have been in contact with bmr about changing out my subframes to a lighter style, and i have a lighter fab rear on order, other than that i will not be doing any 'hacking' so i guess my weight reduction is complete

You still have a sub-box in back?

MIGHTYMOUSE

iTrader: (59)

nope! no amp or sub in the trans am, sold all that when i wrecked the formula.. that was a big sacrifice right there! i do have upgraded speakers though it though.

to balance it i have plenty of bump in the trunk of my typhoon though

ok more update pics. unfortunately the guys took off today at beer:30 so i hope that it is finished and ships out tomorrow for me to get on friday

Been there, done that. Used the ACC lightweight and got tired of the ripples...back to stock....

6 bolt heads/block looks good....should hold the boost well.

How high are you going to rpm the wetsump?

MIGHTYMOUSE

iTrader: (59)

i'm going 6500 every single pass i dont care!!! no one can stop me!!

same as last year, it normally shifts out around 6400

What ci is your engine MM? 402? Just curious, if it was a 364 or whatever you'd be spinning higher not?

Beaflag VonRathburg

iTrader: (176)

He said the heads are six bolt All Pro cathedral heads. I have a set of them too, but they are four bolt. They're a very nice head with lots of features.

Head studs are stock size, the additional studs are 3/8. The engine is stock bore and stroke 6.0

Are those the new dog bone lifters with the v in the connector for the warhawk block?

MIGHTYMOUSE

iTrader: (59)

You could use a LS1 block, but I like the LS2 better because of added beef. The newest LS2 is better yet, but still hard to find.
