That brings us now to what Ron Mace was pointing out.  So now you have an extra 50 pounds to put in your car, thats not a penalty, becouse now you can use it to get your rear percentage up.

Most of the good cars are close to 50/50 front to rear weight, if you can nail it, your car has perfect balance.  It will help the car turn, making it even faster down the shoots.

Girls....The built engine they tested had more torque then the 602!!!Iam glad that Dilley spent someones money and did this testing,not like some other tracks that have techman who are master backyard engine assemblers that pull numbers from there a@ss's!!!!
Mark has left it open to adjust the weight within the first 7 weeks,you might find that the 602 will end up lighter then the builts,like the other tracks. 😮 😮 😮
So,tell me...if you had a engine that made 450 hp and 310ft lbs of torque,and an engine with 375hp and 400ft lbs of torque,what 1 would you choose???
