weight savings was about 250 lbs from over 3,450 down to 3,200 with me in it. I think the 9" rear was a bit heavier than the 8.8 too.
Been thinking about some glass parts but not ready yet. I like the old beat up sleeper look right now.
The solid motor mounts keep the engine from torquing around under the hood and pushing the intake up into the hood plus I don't have to worry about breaking them. Being solid they also stiffen the chassis for better weight transfer on the launch.
The line lock allows me to do a really nice burnout without riding the brake pedal and dragging the rear brakes. (no brakes lights on either)
And I still have all three legs although one is a whole lot shorter than the other two! LOL

Well it's good to know why you're a FREAK!
Mr Tri-pod!

So, are ya going to get an Ignition anytime soon?

Would it increase HP any? or just a much better burn and give a better throttle response

roundman

Yeah, I'll probably break down and get an MSD 6AL before the year is out. It might help out on the HP some I guess but the stock Ford TFI is better good until you do more mods internally than I have done.
You know you are a junior tripod man don't you?

Obsol3te

I'd say im more along the lines of a
Table.

Yeah, I'm broken.

roundman

WTF, I don't get it?

Obsol3te

Me either
But get the 6AL it's great!
And has a rev limiter
Don't wanna hurt your baby some how.

roundman

Yeah, my racing buddy has MSD on his monster motor and it will light your *** up big time if you ain't carefull around the wires and coil.
BTW, in case you don't know, the third leg is the one in the middle!
Now do you get it? LOL

Obsol3te

Hrmm, well I guess my Third and Fourth are in the middle too!

roundman

I guess you were never in the service and had to stand for a short arm inspection either, huh?

Obsol3te

Oh, I've had the car serviced before.
Never again!
and I get my cars inspected EVERY YEAR!
My arms arnt too short
