You must be new at this, if you don't realize what happens if you take 50-60 lbs off the nose of a Stocker ,and put that amount in the weight box.
Pretty soon , we'll need wheelie bars.
Oh ,wait ..I forgot. We already have them...for safety!

It NEVER ceases to amaze me the amount of WELFARE that certain racers ask for......

Folks, just because something was in the parts books back in the day doesn't mean it should be legal for stock eliminator. Chevy had lots of high performance parts in the books back then. Doesn't mean that they are or should be legal for stock eliminator. And Todd if memory serves me well Pontiac had ram air 5 tunnel port heads that could be purchased if you knew the right people.

50-60lbs ? I highly doubt that, I'll weigh them & get back on that with actual numbers. Why is it that when someone states an opinion that they get jumped on, questioning the integrity of their knowledge. Like you must be new at this. Just because they haven't been on class racer for a decade? Maybe they have been involved in a low profile manner. I understand why Bill is saying this but over a intake that is a replacement? There are quite a few examples on this thread about what I was saying. There are a lot more pressing issues other than this intake. You want an example? Single 4 hemi.... Wrap your head around that one. Where were the class police on that one? I'm a Chrysler guy, where were you on that one since you want to jump up and down about an intake?

Yes..Definitely get back to us on the weight..Never been over on the dark side, but I know Pontiacs, AMC's are that much.
Give us the numbers, and then we will re-address the weight distribution issue.

We have run both back to back in the 90's........No difference in performance
or ET (Weight equalized) at all.

We do run a couple of the cars currently and mine usually has front weight
because I do not like the huge wheel up launches that the my boys enjoy!

Legal or not..... We do not care!

On a good note for any racers who may need one of these fabulous LD340 intakes, I have 11 of them if someone is in need.
