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 LS1 CMC2 car comes off from a 20 minute race at 3370 so 3200 without me. I still have a pretty easy 100 pounds to pull out of the car as well.

Aren't you running cam, ported heads, and headers? You should be up around 400 rwhp and I'm guessing you will need to be around 330. The smallest restrictor I have is a 45 mm. It cut me down to 248 rwhp and 285-290 tq I think. Unrestricted I think I am a little over 300 hp 320's tq.
I'm thinking that you will still need to add weight even after restricting the car unless you go to such a restricted level that it might have terrible throttle response-think Talladega.

Let us know what the car does on the dyno unrestricted. Let me know if you want some restrictors or want to see all my dyno pulls.
