Thanks GuillaumeC.
That is exactly what I am looking for. To me, at this point, 50 lbs from the nose of the car will help in lightening up and with the weight transfer when launching.
I pulled the car off the trailer and have retired it for this year. I feel the car has come along way this summer, after allot of trial and errors. I have acheived beyond my goal what I was looking at doing. My best time to date is an 11.59 with a sluggish 1.64 in the 60'.
Now it is time to start thinking about next year. What can be improved? For starts, putting the whale on a diet.
My cast iron heads have served me well. I ported and polished them myself and had 2.00" intakes and 1.55 exhaust valves dropped in. I also know they were very heavy. Well, the next step, knowing that there is a 50#s weight savings there, a set of GM aluminum heads with a little AI work done to them will help.
So,, my goal already, a set of aluminum heads, for the weight reduction, with of course some mods also, along with removal of the AC Delco battery and replaced with an Odyssey PC680, will save me approx. 65 - 70 pounds right off the bat.
Not a bad start in my books.
Regards,
Matt.
