yhea last time i took my bumper supports out to get it down to 3375, the insrance dicked me when i got into an accident so thats ware part of the 125 more lbs comes from. it also comes from the 12 bolt and the suspension weighs a bit more. I could tae the seats out at the track though....
yank told me it would pick up like .25 in the quarter. Also the guy i bought the car from went from a ss3600 to a pt4000 and he said it was worth 2 tenths if not a little more as well. I would really love to get on that cam only list (10.985 bump if im not mistaken), so i guess if i have to take out the back seat to drop weight ill do it.

I'm the guy he bought the roller and tranny from. I saw better-than .2 tenths going from the SS3600 to the PT4000. The tranny had only about 300 miles on it since the fresh-up and brand new PT4000, so, I only mashed into the gas off the line and went easy on it. Got a pretty good dig off the line, but, I came nowhere near stomping on it.
That converter would have easily gained over .3 tenths if I hadn't decided to part the car out before I had the opportunity to hit the track one more time. That run was a 1.58 60' short time and a 11.665 run on a VERY conservative launch. If I'd taken it out to the track again, I def would have to have it caged.
Darren got himself a really nice setup and I am very happy for him. I have relatives in Rockaway, Jersey ... so, we'll be coming over to watch him race when we visit ... for sure.
Looking foward to it. Also let me know if you get a new car to build up like your talking about with the BBC motor. Im really lookin to hookin this car with the PT4000, it sounds like a nice stepup.
BTW how much RWHP did you make when you were running?
