I know what mine weighs, I'm a bit curious what it should weight though, because it seems crazy heavy.
Steel block / headed motor. I ran a buddies motor, it had a little M block and aluminum heads, my stock stuff was withing 5-10 lbs of that motor.
I have an older winters QC, but not ancient (alum tubes, gun drilled axles), dry sump, integra canister shocks scaloped rotors, 5 bolt hubs, not a ton of trick light weight stuff, but not really heavy stuff. I typically scale with 15 gal of fuel, I'm a bigger driver, around 260-270...
With no lead on the car, luckily my percentages balance out pretty dang close, but man this thing is heaaaaavy! I'm pushing the upper end of 2400, after a race with 20 gal of fuel, not much mud hanging off the car I was over 2500.
Seems like this thing is 100-200 lbs heavy to me. No doubt I could help the cause out some, and am trying, but I don't think I can lose 200 lbs lol.
To make matters worse, I was running a 10" setback, but the new WISSOTA rules, I'm going to the 6" setback, so I'll likely be hanging some lead, or running more fuel to get my rear % back up where it should be...
Anyone have some idea what this should weigh? Or what I could possibly be missing that's causing it to be so dang heavy?
