Happy to share. Gears: 3.27. Converter: CircleD 3EX built to Pray Performance specs, Flash Stall: 4,150 +/- RPM. TCC unlocked 1st and 2nd, locked middle of 3rd (60 mph) and for remainder of run. Note: Converter recommended primarily for drag strip use with some street use. Not for daily drivers.
Weight Reduction: Passenger seat, rear seat, engine belly pan, Bogart racing wheels (10" x 17" rear 22.5 lbs. ea.; 4.5" x 17" front skinnies 14 lbs. ea.), Antigravity lithium ion battery, intake covers, trunk panels, sway bars, stock muffler (axle back straight-pipe exhaust). Curb weight: 3,320 lbs. w/ 1/8 tank gas. (Kind of a cool pic; reflection of car on window glass) Oh, forgot: Drain windshield washer reservoir (6-8 lbs). Note: Rear Hoosier DBR's weigh 23.5 lbs. ea. (Mickey 305's are 31 lbs. ea.) There are probably other small things like fasteners that I can't remember, but this is the majority of it. Published curb weight 3,685 lbs. Weight reduction: 365 lbs.
