Looks like a nice lightweight drag setup.....

Did you do a before/after weigh in? Probably cut 100lbs off the front

I had weighed the car at a race track before ( 3040 lbs me in ) once its all back together in the spring I will weigh it again. The problem is I have changed many other factors as well, the R3 Eng is 60 lbs heavier than a 340, but I did put in a lightweight drag crank , my knew clutch weighs 30 lbs less, but the big one is I have lost 90 lbs since my last weigh in.:cheers:
so I am hoping for 150 lbs less.
