man, all these numbers are extremely suprising to me, i mean i figured to get an LT-1 deep into the 12's you would have atleast get a H/C in addition to the other things, but you guys arent even doing that!!! Im really suprised, what kind of times do you think you will be running with full street trim, nothing removed, save some small things like spare, seats, stuff like that, like around 3500 lbs?? Thanks, and keep up the good work

The car is in 'full street trim' if we take it on the street, it goes like it sits.

If you want a RW of 3500 that is 500ish more than we are now, so that is at least a half a second slower but it would be so much harder on the parts to get it going that heavy. I still say in the 7s but not nearly as deep.

Yeah they are moving for boltons for sure. My T/A weighs 3,500 lbs and runs low 7's in the 1/8th but it takes a nice heads/cam package to get it there. I would love for my car to weigh 3,000lbs but can't seem to gut it that far yet. Later

No interior takes a little getting used to but running light sure feels good.
