I will spare the details but having to put back on a rocker after a record setting run is easier to do due to motivation! And that was the second time I had a rocker come off Saturday....

1.633
7.769
87.72
12.203
111.35
DA 759'
throwing a rocker off on the top end.

backed it up with the belt on:

1.605
7.757
87.56
12.219
113.23
DA 421'

Scales were not working, 3 weeks ago it was 3130 with driver, I guess it was about that this time with the addition and deletion of stuff.

WTG Shon. Car is absolutely flying. How'd you get it that light?

Shon Herron

The K-member, A-arms, QA1 shocks/springs, Headers help alot.
I took out the dual fan set up and put one 12" fan on it.
No interior, just the dash. No Interior means just that.
Swapped to a cloth manual seat.
HVAC deleted.
Removed some excess wiring that I didnt need.
Skinnies/fats, Warriors, of which are some of the heaviest on the market, probably will be switching to some lighter ones over the winter.
I made the LCA and PHR to be the lightest, not alot of savings but it all adds up!
And any other stuff I saw that was not needed....ie front sway bar, bumper supports, etc.....

I still run a full size battery since we do not run a belt, but on the 12.21/113 pass the belt was on....I am looking at other options about this, ultimately what ever is the lightest.

I can still see weight to remove.....then I could add back the carpet and some of the interior to squash some of the talk about it...but you know what, it's my car and I set out to beat the known record, that has been done so its gravy from here!!! Plus, this car is nothing more than a toy, I use it to race, ie it is just a track car that might see the street almost never....

Shon Herron

Daumn Shon it's quicker then your old LT4 heads/Hotcam car huh? I know it's light and better suspension but hey it's a stock LT1. Nice times and I wish I could get mine down to 3100lb raceweight. Later Clint

What about the 11.89 pass?

Shon Herron

I dont like the 1.62 60' so the sig is not showing the 11.89 pass, but I guess I should sense that is the actual record!

Getting it down that light has not been that hard, suprisingly....

Congrats man. I'm glad you hit your goal. I guess me and steve gonna have to stick a stock motor back in his car to have some more fun..hehehe. Congrats man. Hopefully you can stay on top as long as steve did.

Shon Herron

If the hot air would move in it would help me stay atop alot longer....but LA is getting some good air now!

blksunshine

props!! where u shifting that think? and did you change the valvesprings?

95Bird

eh...you got plenty of time. This won't happen untill next year this time. Steve is still working out of state. If I found one I guess I could put it in my car..lol.

Mods in sig, LT4 springs are on the car. 6kish shift points and carrying about 6400 on the top end.
