Ya think it is that much Tony? I was under the impression that Buschur/AMS cars were 2950 w/driver might be wrong though. Procco weights 3241 with driver?
A little sauce and those 42R powered cars are going to roll if the drivetrains can stay intact.

With nitrous the procco evo is gonna move HARD. Especially at bithlo. Good luck to all the contenders. Im hoping for a 8.7 pass this season, so some one from one of these shops should tell me their looking for an 8.5

I don't think some of the guys are ready for the drivetrain carnage that's going to occur trying to get a nearly full weight Evo consistantly into the low 9's and faster.
Our car did it a few times out. Then the stress started showing, and it got to a point where I was scared to even try to launch the thing easy. Something new that had been stressed many times would snap.
Front Axle shafts
Front diffs
Tcase ring and pinions
Rear diff pinion shafts (this one really causes carnage)
Inner rear axle cups
Outer rear axle cups
Rear axle bars
Yes there are some replacement parts for some stuff above, but damn they are expensive and theres certainly no guarantee that THEY won't break too. Other stuff we are just forced to use the factory pieces and figure out its expected cycle life and just replace them before they break.
Good luck to everyone this year. I hope to see some bad *** times and less broken parts. Put those cars on some diets!
