Texas Motorplex in Ennis had a test and tune last night.
I figure the wheels and tires are probably 20 pounds lighter each. Maybe .2 for the 20s.
I was hoping for a 12.5 since its getting warmer and I had the weight. Had I known it was running that well, I would have pulled off a few pounds and been a little more prepared. I should have weighed it. I'm betting 5500 with driver, since I'm 260. Idle is all worked out now.

I had tools and a cooler in the back seat, so maybe that makes up for it.
First run as a 12.31 @ 109.36 on a 1.72 60'. 7.80 1/8th @ 87.4
Second was 15 minutes after the first - 12.5 @ 107.2 - 1.79 60'.
Third was 30 minutes after that. 12.34 @ 107.2 on a 1.67 60'. 7.75 1/8th
Not too bad for what it is. It really jumps out of the hole. I'm getting 8psi from the radix.
