There is a local dyno day here this weekend, and I am going to play with some restriction ideas toget the power down to where it needs to be. It just seems like there should be a "sweet spot" in there somewhere. I can take out more weight, but I will have to restrict the power even more. Mitch, what are the CMC cars running weight wise? How about the CMC-2 cars with LS-1's? I know it is not the same, but I am just thinking I will overtax the tires more than Iwill miss the horsepower....but this is all late night theory on my part.

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?
