Default What are you guys with ~1650lb cars running?

Just wondering what guys with crazy light cars are running?
~1650lb with driver please.

I'm building up a car that is going to weigh around 1650 with me in it.

1650 is light. At 1650 you can hit 9.90s with around 310-320hp with a chassis that is really setup. With nitrous like in your sig, you can make a lot more average power and accelerate the car hard in the first part of the track.

My car will make around 250-260whp. This one is actually gonna be a turbo car. No nitrous on this one. Thinking it will run some low 11s.

Could care less what the car has. If your car weighs around 1600-1700lbs post what you ran lol.

I'm not asking for a specific setup here.

I'm not gonna have a wheelie bar, but that is pretty good to know. Maybe I'll try to rig up something.

The reason why I love lightweight cars. No power needed. lol

well i think the car would of ran better cause when i tore it apart to start the turbo setup i found a restriction in the return fuel line of the manual fuel injection and that mean it was dumping fuel and running fat i know the motor made 130hp before so i think it might of ran a high 12 cause it was studdering alot out the hole

Just out of curiosity, why did you go with mechanical injection.

I would have went with carbs if you didn't want to mess with electronics.
