Weighed the pig today.1850 pounds dry with the heavy desert tires on it .I need to weigh the tire/wheels to see how much heavier but I'm thinking about 100 pounds difference.

Wow, 1850.  Wouldn't have guessed that high.  Might be those crappy scales. ;D  Good thing you and wife dont weigh 100lbs.

FWIW,guys I have never been a fan of the light weight sand cars. If I want to go fast I'll buckle into the dragster.Keep in mind this is for the wife and mine(based off this car) will have just a bit more oomph to it. 800 ish HP and several hundred foot pounds torque. With the V-8 and what not I should come in at under 2500 for it.  This car has come in about 250 heavier than target as I was shooting for 1600 but at least 100 pounds of that is the heavy off road tires/wheels.

My car is not a mini. Damn near full size. The V-8 version will only be approx 10 longer wheelbase,same width.  I weigh out at approx 600 pounds per wheel rear and 350 per wheel front. Approx 58% rear. I like that. I think......................................

ya that's some weight, I have not weighed mine but I'm betting it's 1600 - 1800 ish.   I wouldn't have guessed yours to be that heavy but fiberglass work etc etc does add up fast. so first ride?

Well,I've been a bit quiet about how the car has done so far. I had a few minor loose ends to tie up before it was LS ready and I still have one issue to deal with but..................................................I FLOGGED the hell out of it today,getting into boost but not running to redline due to being too lean still yet(the one issue). It's about right gearing for tighter areas and likely good for maybe 60 MPH cruising(99 mph @redline of 10,600 rpm) with the 091 in 4th. Currently 4th is 1.39:1 . That ,I think would be perfect for 3rd in the 091 with a higher 4th. So what I'm saying is that I may be a bit top end limited at LS if I don't get it richened up in boost. HOWEVER,this thing is a rocket considering it's 2000 pounds wet ,with full tank of gas,  desert tires, me in it  and powered by a puny 1.3 liter,torque lacking, fooking 4 cylinder Japanese bike motor. GAWD!,these things sound so cool!

I'd like to find one wide enough somewhere. LOL!!!!! BUT,I do have onboard wideband and datalogger for throttle position/rpm/AFR/boost b ut somehow I forgot to connect fuel pressure in eyes but I can tune this sucker nonetheless . I just hope I don't lift a head or burn something  first! ;D ;D Real world condition logging actually works pretty well. Done it several times before but now its over 3 years ago and welllll.......the memory ain't what it used to be soooooo........I have some relearning to do.  eyes eyes  The HKS SSV bov sounds cool as hell . It's right behind my head. Love it. First thing I'm going to do tomorrow is verify that the fuel pressure is actually rising with boost. Might be why I'm so lean now. The hahn setup ,from all I've read,comes base mapped so rich it should be running maybe 11.5:1 AFR but I'm seeing spikes of 15+:1 on the widwband guage. I'll do some logging this weekend I hope or it'll be me and enemy tuning our shit all next week at LS hoping for the best. rofl

LOL Yup!!
I'm fighting some areas right now too. My boost areas were fat as hell with the original hahn map. (still is!) I spent the entire evening last night getting Logworks the way I had it before switching my laptop over to Windows 7 .  Are you using the Aux box or the dl 32? ...Cant remember..Sailor Jerry is currently distracting me..

Not much.. I trust the aux box/logworks over it. So far. Although, I read lower boost pressure through the Aux box versus the Tru-Boost reading, So I have plenty more investigating to do yet.... ??? ???
