The Density altitude was between 300-400ft above sea level that day.

Unless they had a HUGE bottle hidden somewhere...or were swappin' bottles while hot-lapping.....they weren't sprayin'. MPH was increasing throughout the day....which wouldn't happen if you were running out of bottle from repeated runs down the track.

Nope....not spray, but I do think the car is significantly lighter then 3200lbs.

Last time we weighed 91PONY it was 3050lbs without driver, slicks on 10-holes, & skinnies up front with 3/4 tank of fuel, smog pump, A/C, PS, etc.

Carb setups are lighter in weight then EFI due to many less parts & aluminum...so there's a few pounds there. 10lbs maybe
Fiberglass hood....25-30lbs there.
Windsheild wiper stuff 5-7lbs + empty the fluid reservor for 5lbs
No intereior, front racing seats.....40-50lbs
No AC, PS, smog pump.....40-50lbs
lightweight rear wheels.....30+lbs
Misc other little things like removing the swaybar, etc....hell, I remember when Drew, Aaron, & I removed 100lbs of un-needed weight from Aaron's vert & nobody could tell a difference from looking at it...in the car or under the hood. There's a lot of little things that aren't needed with a Carburator setup VS EFI.

I'd guess the car without driver weighs around 2800lbs.
388RWHP from a mustang dyno.... I'd think 400-410RWHP from a dynojet would get a 3000lb foxbody (w/driver) down the 1/4 in 10.9 seconds at 124mph.

shaun/chirag are probably right about the weight, probably around 3k with me in it, i'm 200lb. we do still have the front and rear sway bar on though. [Cool] it'll probably make 420 or so on a dyno jet. a shop down the street has a dyno jet 248 i believe, we took a blown ls1 which made 400 on our dyno made 455 ish on there dyno. we'll take the stang over there as soon as we get some time, we've been meaning to do that.

side note: we got 10 runs in that day car damn near over heated EVERY run. back to back runs baby. [Eek!]

Wow! 400 to 455RW!
Damn!

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if your setup dynoed more then Heather's. These reverse-split setups tend to make low dyno power, but run hard at the track for what they have. AVG power & a fast reving motor make up for the lack of peak power #'s.

I was also think that 2800-2900 w/o driver was a much closer guess. My pig of an SN-95 with all the weight reduction it has still tips the scales at 3300 w/driver.

shitty 3 row copper/brass radiator, and electric fans. we may put and aluminum radiator in it soon enough though. and get rid of the restrictors and put in a thermostat. that'll make a huge difference.
