This is just putting the weight in front of the tires, it helps with traction, and reduce tire spin. Then we take weight out of the back. Lighter usually is better, but when you compete in these classes, you still have to be a certain weight for each class. which is usually 2200-2400lbs. sohc can be 100lbs lighter, but billet turbo means you have to add 100 lbs. weird stuff like that.

Only weight out of the backe would be interior, Just switching to a 5 gallon fuel cell drops about 40lbs out back. There really isn't a whole lot to do. We just want more weight on the front end. Plexiglass windows means you can't run any street class. So we can't do that.

If all goes well i may get an Exospeed 3-piece front end this winter.
