Yesh 4600lb's is light. My ship weight when the truck came off the train was 4750lbs. Fully loaded with my fat *** inside I tip the scales at 5300lbs. For racing I can get it back down to 4950lbs.

Yea, my last time at the track was 4760 lbs..... and I have had it down to 4720.... If I tried just a little harder I think I can get it down to 4690... but that would be really stretching it..... like carrying spare fuel to leave in the parking lot!

Gonzo...will you try to find a timeslip from a rc/sb 2wd 5.3 with only a cold air intake, headers, open exhaust, and programmer...NOT custom tune, but programmer...aka superchips, hypertech, diablo sport. This is all it takes a hemi to run 13's even at 4900#. No cam, no high stall convertor, no custom tune...none of that. The guys slip you posted earlier had all of the above mods plus some, and still only ran .1 quicker than my hemi on stock 245/70/17 tires, stock 3.92 gears, and no weight reduction. And I still pulled 3mph quicker which says that I am making more power, but having a hard time putting that power to the ground on stock tires.
