From what I can find, the fronts should wiegh aprox 40-42lbs. My stockers with 275s on front were about 65-68lbs from what I remember. So I will have a solid 45lbs of wheel off the front along with much less rolling resistance of that big tire!

you should add a bigger cam like the "NF" cam for you to run faster bro.......

JK, lol nice to see a smaller cam put in work! Good luck on the new ETs man

Perfectly fine to DD racestar and weld wheels. Bogart (strip version) are pretty soft and not recommended for DD. Bogart does make a street version that is beefed up a little and they say is OK to DD.
