Weight in the trunk
 

Has anyone played around with adding weight in the trunk for better traction? If so how much?

I use to put 2 60lb sandbags in the trunk of my mustang, worked great in the street , but I stilled only weight 2840lb with bags

When I first installed the whipple i put a 60lb sandbag in the trunk to help with traction and weight transfer. If you can hook without it you will be faster but if you are not hooking give it a try.

IF you were looking to add weight to the rear, I'd start by having the fuel tank full rather than showing up to the track at 1/4 full. Either way, adding weight doesn't sound like the right solution

What are some other options? Everyone always says suspension but I can't find anything specific... Used to a 4 link would help but the axel twist isn't bad in our cars to begin with.

First thing is are you on a tire?

Also do you have mag ride where you can launch in Touring mode for weight transfer?

Fill up the tank.. plenty of weight.. 17 gal x 6.5 lbs = 110 lbs.

I know some crazy fast street car guys that add hundreds of lbs to their car in the back. I think weight at the rear bumper will do more for you than weight where the gas tank is.

I have never tried it but i am thinking about it.
