Drag cars use ballast because most classes have a minimum weight requirement. You build the car lighter than that then add the weight back where it does the most good. Street cars don't have a minimum weight requirement, so making the car lighter is the same as adding HP.
Great stuff Joe, I'm learning a lot here because of you guys.

But now i realize i should have just made my car lighter rather than just putting a bigger engine............LOL. Although that 330 was stuck anyway.

Cheers,
Gary
