I think It's time to start pulling some weight
Wow, my race weight is 3550.. I figured yours would be a little liter.

I've already pulled the back seats, seat belts, spare tire, AIR pump, skinnies, etc., all the usual and easy stuff is out of the car. I'm ready to pull the AC now .

I'm running an iron block and moser 9". Lots of extra weight I don't need .

what he was saying is was that you would be a fool to lift the tires without the supporting mods he was suggesting. he was adding that you need a soft suspension and sticky tires (on the front of the car) is so that when your front end slams back down, you don't crush a vertebrae and/or slide off the road.

don't be too embarrassed for calling him out in error.
Well... I stand corrected then

Ahhh, thats right.. Only thing I know of taken out of my car is the jack/spare and the windshield washer reservoir, other than that it is full weight.

9" and iron block add like 250lbs though don't they?

I know the iron block is around 88-95lbs heavier than the alum. block. I think the victor jr. is also heavier than the ls6, fast, etc. style intakes and the BMR extreme Trq. arm feels a little heavier. I'm not sure how much the 9" is over the 10 bolt, but it's definitely heavier.

I also have the front bumper support and washer reservoir out.

Lots of heavy duty crap went back on it this go around
