Does anyone know what most LS-1 cars are running weight wise? I am about 3350 with me in the car. My motor should be way over, so I am going to run a restrictor.
I don't believe in reinventing the wheel. You guys have a lot more experience at this than me. IS there an ideal weight range? |

My wife's LT1 powered AI car is ~3180 post race. I probably add ~50 pounds to that.
Now, as for the "average" LS1 powered AI car, I can only think of Mike Patterson's, so with only one in the set the average is whatever his car weighed, which I think was in the 3500s (I could be wrong, but it was up there). He managed to wheel it around the track sufficiently quickly. Jason |
