    ballast to add or not to add that is the ????

    ok 3060 with driver full of fuel 2bl metric PS rules 3000#
    w/o driver 52x 52 left and 48 rear
    iam very aware you should be as light as possible but i wonder if i should stack the lead on the rear near the diff to gain some numbers and some forward bite, keep in mind 150# of lead will only give me 1 -1.5% i just wonder if its worth dragging the extra pounds
    also i dont have much gear option and i know some 3600# tanks put some gear to em to compensate for the weight
    thanks

    Without driver Im set up the same % wise as you. Only 100 lighter overall. My car works great.

    When it goes dry though I do add 50-100 lbs high over just inside the rear spring. High as possible.

    My wt rule is 2950,3000 or 3100 depending IMCA, USRA or Nascar.

      When you add the extra weight, are you putting it between the rear springs and over the rear end up high ?

        yes high and left but inside the rear springs and centered on them not behind them.
