Car is running good John. Do you mind sharing your front weight percentage? We are at 51% and can't keep the front down after adding some Nitrous jet.

Re: Nova lexan weight loss

There are several kits out there, most of them are using stainless steel counter sunk screws. Here is a screw kit from Quarter-Max but you will still need the gasket: http://www.rjracecars.com/Window-Screw-Kit-219615-Prodview.html Here is a complete kit from Jerry Bickel: http://www.jerrybickel.com...

Nova lexan weight loss

I'm wanting to put some lexan windows in my car to lose some weight this winter. Curious if its worth the cost/work vs the weight savings . Mainly the back glass and 1/4 windows. John, I know you have done this do you remember the weight differences?

John_Heard wrote:I believe that one was a 1.19 which could be better, 330 was like a 3.15 I think. Since then we're ran a much more aggressive tuneup at launch with the transmission fried it went a 4.84@149. I can't wait to get a fresh trans in it that shifts correctly.
Going to stick with the glide?
