I'm hoping to have my '40 Plymouth sedan in under 2500 pounds, and under 2850 pounds with me in it...and I'm going to be putting an extra $1000 into my 400 Poncho...I gotta rip the chassis apart again and add some bracing, because I know if I don't my rear framerails will buckle and twist...the rest of the specs on my car are a TH350 w/3000 stall, '61 Pontiac powerlok rear with 3.23 gears (haven't found another gear set yet), 10" M/T ET Streets, 6 point cage (still being built)...I'm shooting for low 16's, just so I'm not disappointed
