I am new to mods....are all these cars this heavy? My shaw is a tick over 2500 with 15 gallons of fuel
Depending on the rules you are running. 2500# is minimum with USRA if you run an "open" aluminum head motor.
yeah 2500 is heavy with no lead. theres at least 150lbs thats hiding somewhere. iron heads?
Is that 2500 without driver??
after race with driver..
Yeah, thats with driver after race. No lead and alum headed motor.
Mine mod is 2480 with driver. And single row radiator and I have trouble getting temp
Dart lil M block? They are about 40pds heavier than a stock block. Look at the bumper and how its mounted to drop a couple pounds. Cheapest thing to do is to put the driver on a diet!!
But to answer the original question, yes alot of guys run the single rows on alky w/o issue. Just be sure to clean it every couple races.
