go to his web site click on my car mods are listed at the bottom of page.car made 409 rw.could u post a list of ur full mods. im interest in knowing
Kick Ass!!!
Man, I hope you are comming to the shootout! I would love to have a few 11 sec NA cars there.
You say fully dressed. What was/is your weight with driver?
I ask because if you roll heavy, maybe I do have a chance. With my current setup I am at 3975. I want to do some weight savings like a AL DS and 15" drag wheels, but I don't see me getting down any lower than 3825 with those mods. I doubt I'll get in the 11's NA with my weight.

Wow that's insane! That's faster than even a few blower cars are running! Imagine what you'd do with an auto, tc, and the other mods you listed! The gears aren't even that crazy... Jeez it seems like with some other things you could shave off at least another half second.
... Weight with me in the car was 3625. 3975? that is really heavy for a 3v? ...
To answer you more specifically that weight seems high. And yes i hope to be at the meet you are having.
The bmr k member and a arms drop i think 31? The rims, are ridiculously heavy on this car, i realized that as i lifted those skinny bogarts to put them on the front, they feel like they weigh no more then 15lbs a peice, maybe 20? i dont know but the stock 17s with pirellis weigh 46. its at least 50 to 60lbs right there. imagine some light rims on the back. really i dont have that much weight savings on the car, the door sticker on my car says 3523 curb weight, i figure with the k member a arms, exhuasts and those rims on the front i must have shaved about 100lbs? I guess that would add up about right to put it at 3675 with me in it, I weigh 215.
Auto? No i like to actually drive the car. LOL. Kidding (not really)
Yea it was some good stuff. I'm not done yet.
That's cool. I appreciate the info. Those other items may be something I look into to help get the weight down.
Going by the scales at MIR, my car empty (with 1/4 tank of fuel) is 3600 to the pound. I'm 6'2" and weigh 375 lbs, so unless I lose 175 lbs, i'm pretty much screwed... I'd love to drop the weight too, but having a respiratory disability is making it so I cannot exersize at all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a stick guy too. I prefer to select my own gear. I was simply pointing out what it COULD do. An Auto can't be beat at the drag strip... just the facts, ya know?
Sorry to hear that. Next time your going to be at MIR let me know. What rims do you have on the car?
A week ago, mine weighed in at 3735 w/o driver... so that is 3975 with me in it.Weight with me in the car was 3625. 3975? that is really heavy for a 3v?
