Blimey, what size tyres you gonna get for those rims

Pete,
What do you estimate the weight of the car to be ?

11.2s all set up correctly n driven proper,

10.9

Need to get some more weight out Pete, few hours with the holesaw should help address that problem

I wasn't joking about the weight, mine was around 3,300lb's when I started out. With full cage, me sitting in it, its around 2,200lb's. OK,OK, I put some weight on so closer to 2,250lbs

That was with the B Block & B1's, will scale it in next few weeks to see where its at with the Hemi, Blower, road trim. I'm guessing the KB Block & Blower will be fairly similar in weight to the old engine.

If its gained to much, will have to start looking where I can save some weight. I even holesawed the headlight buckets ? as was concerned about the weight going back up with the raod trim. Plastic bag, instead of washer bottle, might drill the nuts & bolts next, swap for aluminium bolts where I can. Keep me busy for a few weeks

Skin head and cut yer pants off before your run. Worked for me

What does the convertor stall at.

What did you get out of the old set up Pete?

113 is good enough for 11's

I think Pete ment gas mark 113 ..........
