No reason why any other car should not be goiing just as fast . I have no secrets . I’ve told almost everybody that asks me my combination. I tell people to pull the sway bar and aluminum pan to make the car weight transfer better and most don’t listen. Anyway I wasn’t aware of the rules . Sorry about breaking them.

Seems that you misunderstood me to some extent. I just thought that you might not have read the rules yet, and you are confirming that was the case. Check out first post on page 1 of this thread. However, if you think that I was questioning how quick your car went, that was not the case. Your own race weight of 3650 is pretty decent from my perspective, because my SS was probably somewhere around ~3785 when I went 10.88 with a completely-stock exhaust system, a few bolt-ons, and the stock torque converter. Weight difference can be explained by some factors, first, supposedly the LT1 starts out 66 lb lighter than the SS. Second, I did not remove any suspension or body parts (added a driveshaft loop in fact, few extra lbs) and I was probably pushing the driver's seat down even harder than you were. Third, your drag pack and battery might be somewhat lighter than the ones that I had. Lastly, long tubes probably save a few pounds from stock exh manifolds and 4 stock cats. So from a technical perspective, understandable.
