How much do I weight?
I've done some minor weight savings and relocating to my car. Right now it doesn't run and it has no springs. So I'm stuck trtying to guess at which Moroso trick front springs to buy. Anyone care to guess at my front end weight?
I have a
fiberglass hood
battery relocated
aluminum heads
no smog
no AC
no back seats
no sway bar
before the car weighed 3440 w/ me (160) in it. I have no idea what my front end weight would be. Please feel free to guess, b/c I'm almost to the point of guessing and giving up.
Thanks in advance

Few guess in there but you're taking a large amount of weight that's high up on the front end off your car which will should make a pretty big gain in handling. Unless you're only drag racing taking the sway bar off is a bad idea and the rear seats is kinda reaching. Better off just taking out your spare tire at the track before you run.

I am drag racing. Hence why I'm getting drag racing springs and have removed the sway bar.
