36 lbs taken off by switching to these Stock wheels were 41 lbs each, these are flickering 22.5 on my scale so I'll call it 23 each. Tires are 26x4.5x15 Moroso DS2 and the large fender gap is because the car is on the lift. Finally got some wheels to match the back pro stars Hope to hit the track on the 17th of this month, found out this weekend's track day has been called off.

 

looks awesome! maybe you'll see 11.3x's now

 

I'm just hoping to get the car running right again let alone run a new best number Just upped the compression from about 9.8:1 to 10.5:1 and installed a windage tray last month. Also have a different carb coming so the Mighty Demon 850 will be going on the shelf.

 

what carb did you end up going with? that up in the CR will deffinately give you lots more power, windage tray will easy the stress some. i think going to anything from a demon or edlebrock should results in a few tenths,

 

Looks good! I'm sure you will see a difference in ET too, its amazing what a rotational weight loss can do.

 

looks really sharp and having matching rims is always a plus

 

why don't you post a pic of the whole car?

 

Ended up getting an older slightly used Mighty Demon 750 off ebay (still looks almost new), should be here Monday. Just can't get the 850 to run right no matter what so I'll save it for a BBC project.


Hard to get a pic of the whole car in my shop

Now just picture the new front wheels on instead of the stockers

 

15x4's or 15x 6's??

Car will look sweet with those weld's on the front!

 

15x3.5 15x10 5.5 bs are in the back with Hoosier 28x9 slicks.

 

Man Evil, tight car...Good luck at the trackk.....

 

I need some Prostars on the front of my car. I had Draglites all around and when I did my back half, I got a good deal on some 15" wide Prostars for the rear. I still have the draglites on the front.

I have some Aerospace drag brakes on the front. The hubs have a dual bolt pattern so if I can get a good deal on some front prostars, they can be in Ford or Chev bolt pattern. The Draglites are already a dual bolt pattern rim but Prostars are not.

Money no problem? I'd get some Bogart rims. Even lighter than the draglite and prostars.

 

Those Bogart wheels are what a friend of mine uses, I think. He changed his front brakes out to shave off 40 lbs, cost him 2 grand though. The guy has done so many things to his car it's unreal and that's only the stuff he's telling me about hehe.

 

I just shaved a few pounds myself

 

what kinda rack is that? i tried to fit a LT1 rack in mine but the steer shaft wouldnt work with it. (pa k-member)

 

its a flaming river pinto rack

 

That's a lot of weight off the front
