    seriously though Glenn needs a lot of credit for what he's accomplished with that car this year he didnt mention that not only is it a stock long block also stock injectors,clutch,trans,fuel pump,distributor,coil,etc,etc. I say good job again.

    Good running car.

    What all have you done so far to eliminate weight? List what all you have removed or lightened and maybe we can help with some other ideas.

    I removed the AC, and AIR injection, the carpet, the passengers seat, the rear seat, the rear carpet, and I take the spare out at the track. I also run 1/8th of tank of fuel. The interior was taken to do work initially (DS loop, subframes, ect.) and I just left it out. I had 3 pretty big ET gains this year. 1. 3.73 gears with sticky tires 4-5 tenths. 2. removing the stuff under the hood, underdrive pullies, and a short belt between 3 and 4 tenths. 3. Rear control arms, subframe connectors, and torque boxes welded 3 to 4 tenths. The last one I am sure is mostly the control arms. I couldn't even do a decent burnout with the car wheel hopping like crazy. I gotta give a shout out to Mike at Wolfpack for welding it up for me. He did a great job. The other stuff I did produced little gains here and there. A good thing to read is the sticky 5.0 recipe under pushrod power.

    I think my next mod would be a tubular k-member and a-arms along with a manual rack and moving the battery to the trunk.

    Definitly not setting any records at the track today. There was a nasty head wind coming straight up the track all day. Best pass all day was a 13.1 with better 60 foot times than last week.
