We do not have corner weights yet, some day though.

If/when you look into wheel scales, I highly recommend the line from Longacre Racing. We have set and have been very pleased with them in terms of repeatability and build quality. The only downfall is that they're not drive-on scales so we built a set of stackable ramps for the pads to set in.

Good deal! Thanks for the info.

Who cares about corner weight for drag racing?

Think about the dynamic behavior of the vehicle.

Thank you ;).

We just haven't had a chance to get the corner scales yet. We have been mindful on where the weight has been pulled, but I would really like to get it on a set to help see where all the weight is.

I did notice that I will have to re-adjust my suspension a bit to make sure the car sits level again for this up-coming season.

Pre-loading spring tension on a particular corner can help make or break a launch. It's something easily over-looked by many, but for those who get it, and know about it, it makes a BIG difference. I wanna see a solid 9 inch ford rear end in this car, with adjustable 4 link setup.

how did you shave that much weight? I thought that it was already stripped and that is alot of weight!
I can't wait to see what that car will do now if you put bigger turbos on.

What do you think the weakest link on the car will be this season?
