Okay anyone with 60/40 weight distribution, you have a few options to fix this problem:
1.Take some weight off the front(Front Sway bar-1%,A/C delete-1.5%,Battery relocated to trunk-1%,Windshield Washer System-1%,Front Bumper Support-2%,Power Steering Systerm-1%)
2.Fix your suspension-(Rear lower and upper control arms, Subframe Connectors, Tubular K-member-1% off front,Tubular Panhard Bar-2% off front)
Both of these option will fix your understeer and help keep yourtires on the ground betterduring racing and quick take offs, they will also decrease body flex/twisting and prolong the life of your chassis!!

That was kinda my thought. I know people in here love their cars and all, but I dont think there are many people that take their sixers serious to the point that they really even care.

I've never weighed mine either but I would guess 60/40 but I'm sure not getting rid of the AC, PS, bumper supports, sway bar and windshield washer. The battery relocation & sub frame connectors I would do if I was going to drag race much though.

Or if you, don't want to do any thing else that I said, You could always add 50lb sand bags to your trunk? Probably 2-4 would be fine

then your addina sh*t load of weight that will do you pretty much nothing at all. most people rip out stuff that adds weight when they go to the track.
