Actually I think the push was more a function of the big block under the hood.. lol

I bet that thing weights 4,000 pounds..

One thing is for sure. As the day passed they were able to tune the push out or drive through it. I was not watching them to see if they tuned on it. But the car absolutly improved through the day. And yeah, it is probably damn heavy. As was the Air Ride Chevelle that won.

I agree with Derek 100% . Not worth the money over modified stock.

I've also see the car in person, and I thought the front crossmember was too low to the ground, especially since that car really doesn't sit that low.

I'd do an AME or keep stock.
