Alright guys, I am just bumping my thread to give you guys an update. I will be home and going to the track in 9days this even will be going down. I bought some DR's from from chuck here on the forum and they should be at my house before we go to the track. I found out that my buddies car dynoed 373whp. I am hoping for 330 but we will see. Stay tuned and I will post videos and slips for results once I get back that night from the track.

Congrats on going home! The DR's plus the weight advantage should do a lot to make up for his extra power. Can't wait to see the video, and for going to the track.

Ya hopefully it works out in my favor, he hasn't tracked his car yet b/c he wants to wait till I get home to see what it does.

Are you gonna have a chance to do some practice runs? Your car is gonna be very different. We're all rooting for you. Have a safe trip home.

I am just going to have most of the day on Friday till about 5pm so I'll have to go on some back roads. That is about as much practice I can get before I head to the track. Thanks for the vote of confidence

Dont know if this has been covered, but obviously pull the spare and any other small weight advantages you can get. The RE-11's are a great tire... not sure for drag how good they are though.

oh yeah, if you're looking for every small bit of power, you could always run 0-30 oil as well. I do.... won't add a great deal of power, but every little bit helps right?

It's an interesting match-up... even if he wins ... take some pride that you can say "let's go take some turns" hehe.

How much rear wheel hp do you have.
run the DR's at 25 psig. and if you have track problems go down to 23.
Take out your front pasenger seat will ave you 51 lbs.
drain your winshield wiper bottle.

Stock 285. I won't know till after the tune and all parts added. Did somebody actually weigh that for the windshield fluid I remember seeing that in the weight reduction thread but no actual weight? I am just going to do tools and spare tire.

You have or are getting the F.I. exhaust and LTH's correct? The CBE part is 10 lbs lighter and I would imagine the LTH's are lighter than the header and HFC OE combo, so you could be saving another 15 lbs with you exhaust and such there.

I believe I read it is 42 lbs for the spare, tools, etc and if you have the sub, that's another 8.

320 hp and only a "baby cam" and an exhaust makes me think there is more work done to this car than just that because 373 whp from those 2 mods seems VERY high as i've stated before... I don't know for sure no, it's just IMO.
