Chris, i was admiring that 1.25 fuel feed. I never realized it was a feather weight @ 1670. The weight on mine from them is 1640. I have Larry Pipers old car.

Not much nostalgia around here except Bowling Green. Car was built for both. I know motor out front can't win bracket race,been hearing since I started it. Solid block and billet heads equals no cooling. One of those solenoids on side of intake is richening valve.Little richer will cool motor and yes I will have to change oli little more,not big deal.

While Parks is FED god and I am no where near his league .If he can build a FED that makes 4 out of 5 runs to the .00- with 526 blown injected motor and the 5th run off .003. I think I can make this little deal work. If not at first,then after some work it will.

Feather weight would be Scott's car at 1450 with Iron Hemi or his old one at 1350 iron SBC with weight added. Franks web site if like lite weight porn. The stuff they have to cut weight is unbelievable.

Mine weighs 1730 full of fuel with me in it. I also have radiator, electric fuel pump primer system, fan, alternator, big battery, full body and the heavy Iron Eagle block.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I am guessing its up to 1670. I was 1590 race ready,but added stuff.Bigger battery added 22 lbs(on nose),vacuum pump,some solenoids,lines and fittings,extra quart to rear end,electric pump and plumbing for primer system,driving and tail lights. Don't sound like much but adds up. I know of few places that will loose some of it once running,that is if don't have to add front weight,only after moving everything possible forward.

Oh man now I am looking for cheap ways to drop weight now that I thought about how much has been added. Like I ever stop LMAO.



Hey leaving trans cooler off for while has to drop cpl pounds total and its free.

Once its got base tune I have list of items to get as it goes along.

Will have more pics of ****pit area later.
