Assuming you don't weight 50 lbs that actually pretty light given the trans and iron block.

I'm 265. Car is around 3650 alone. I will be confirming on scales soon since it's been a while. Not exactly light

I'm assuming this isn't on a 10 bolt? An iron block, 4l80, 12 bolt/9 inch coming in at 3650 is pretty light considering the mods. Nice job offsetting the added weight.

Threads around here are awesome, we went from NA vs FI, NA build quality vs boost, NA is harder and more expensive then boost so its better, to street vs road course, to a guy that wanted a car that did well at TX2K compared to a guy running 10's in a heavy car when the OP has already gone faster with his previous NA setup. Round and round we go! What's next you won't catch Coronavirus going NA cuz Chinese turbo boxes get in your lungs?
