I'll still be overweight by approx 25 lbs at the first event, but I'm shooting for 2800 even coming off track. 8)

American Iron Rule 7.9.1:
"...Rear axle assemblies may be modified in any manner, however for AI only the center section of the axle housing and gear carrier on solid axle cars must be of ferrous material..."

AI Rule 7.5 Ballast
Ballast can be added in order to meet the power to weight ratio of the American Iron class. Ballast may be placed in any location provided it is securely fastened and approved by NASA tech and safety officials. Any ballast mounted inside the vehicle may not be taller than three inches or stacked higher than three inches. No more than 150 lbs. of ballast may be added to the vehicle. Ballast shall be defined as material that serves no other purpose than adding weight. The weight of the ballast shall be clearly marked on the ballast itself.

I seem to remember there was a lot of talk about ballast at that event. Some excessive ballast in the rear of the car could very well put a car at the optimum 50/50 F/R ratio. I was checking all cars coming across the scales.

It was just a courtesy check.
:wink:

Gullo Ford Conroe had a dyno day Saturday, two pulls for $25.00 - wish I'd have had the info in time to pass along. I'm not positive if they have a dynojet 248C tho. Good thing you and Covini haven't waited until the last minute! :lol:

Mine is already pretty damn close to the 50/50. Getting 150lbs off the nose was the biggest factor! :wink: Gotz to love the aluminum mod motor for that! :wink:

You don't need an aluminum mod motor to make that happen.

Yeah, it's sooooo unlike us to wait 'till the last minute.

Speak for yourself, Liebbe!
I would've been done weeks ago if it didn't rain and get cold.

We could be in trouble tomorrow...It's supposed to be breezy in the afternoon!!! :roll:

True, but I didn't use ballast to do it either! :wink:

OK, you're right - ONE time since I've known you that you were ready ahead of time.

AS for the rest of you - be afraid of my new and improved POWER :twisted: :twisted:

Last Year - 217hp/278tq

This Year - 232hp/290tq (It actually ran 236hp/302tq until I pulled out some timing)

As for ballast - the car with me in it is already overweight and should be good or very close to good.

Don't ask me how I did it - its super secret stuff and I was surprised by the amount of gain and don't completeley understand it anyway. :D

That just means the extra torque will carry you farther off track. :D

Nice numbers! You gonna need all of 'em. ;)
