The bad news is that it will cost about $1500 dollars or $15.00 dollars a pound. What I would like to know is, will you see any improvement in your sixty foot or ET by changing the weight distribution. Lets say going to 54% front and 46% rear.
Question, Alan
Looks like those cars will make K or L. Why not go there, if you're worried about not enough weight on the rear axle?
