With the 275/313 combo in SS/IA, it would weight 313 x 10 = 3130 + 170 lbs for driver ='s 3300 lbs. That might be achievable, but it'd be pretty light on the rear.

Hope this helps.

Jerry,
Thanks for the tip. Beleive it or not the car weighs 3020 lbs without me in it and the only thing that is not in it right now is the second seat. The car ran as a SS/I stick car back in 80's. So I guess what you're saying is that in traditional SS there is no weight amount that you have to play with like you have the 250lbs in GT.
