F body weight

How light can I get a 9" radial stocker style 95 LT1 Camaro ?, and what is considered a minimum needed front to rear weight distribution to get the car to 60 ft. good if running 10.20's?

Thanks

My guess is about 3000lbs with a light driver. My '97 Firebird was 3050 with me in it and I weigh 150. It had some liteweight stuff on it. I could probably have gotten another 50-100 lbs out of it but it would take a lot of expensive stuff and a lot of work. They all 60' well as they have great front to rear weight bias. My car went 1.34's in real good air at Atco and ran 10.55. They should be capable of high 1.20 60's running 10.20's....
