What's she weigh?
 
I just had my car scaled and suspension adjusted by a local chassis man. The car weighs 3240 with driver and helmet and 25# nitrous bottle on board and 1/4 tank of fuel. Not bad for still having the stock K-member under there. Pinion angle was adjusted and it was recommended I run with a full tank of fuel next time out. Just wondering if anyone else has ever done a real chassis set-up and if they saw a improvement at the track.

What all do you have done for weight reduction?

I need to get mine weighed.

I probably will by the end of the week.
