I think the auto stock with full fluids is like 3920 or around there. So let’s say 3850 with lower fluids. He weighs 250 range so 4100 without drag pack and slightly lighter from aftermarket exhaust. His race weight is probably around 4000 depending on fuel

4200 is a big stretch his probably closer to 4000 right now. Don’t know fir sure until he scales it

I still think he is running pretty darn good for the weight and DA at only 400 rwhp. But I’d like to see how he back half’s with that converter. His 1/4 might be a bit lower than expected. But maybe not. Mac can kiss my *** . But I’m still rooting for a Chevy to do well lol

jk man

at this point for the money a nice set of ported heads for around 1500 might be the best gains for the money. And it’s an easy install. Might as well do an E85 conversion too. Get that thing in the tens man

Best gain be a good intake. No use in putting heads on under the stock intake.

You can get them to the 35xx range easily. I think phils 15 1le was like 3660 in it final form with only mod weight being gone and stock front wheels.

M6 fat gens weigh less than autos and I'm a 2ss car which weighs even more. So without spending money no it's not easy to get my car into 37xx range muchless all that much lighter than what it is now.

Gpi pro street brakes all around. You won’t regret it. Promise

unless you plan on running road course time attack. Other than that stock brakes are over kill. Not necessary

Could convert to v6 brakes pretty easily.


there's probably 50lb~ difference in a auto vs a m6 car. That converter is likely lighter than stock also. If you look up 2ss weight it's 38xx. Of course fuel load can affect this. Go weight it

There are some tricks from the copo camaro that can be done also. I bet someone could get a 5gen to 34xx and maybe less with some effort and outside the box thinking and still be a comfortable car.

Swapped back to the 275 pros and boom shakalaka!

Spending money usually means it's not hard to make them light.
