Here's the deal Chuck, probably for the 15th time.... I'm keeping the car as much a F500 as possible for a number of reasons. I don't think you can add any more brake in the car with 10" wheels, if I change to 13" wheels, it will put the addition strain on the chassis that you speak of. Min weight with the 493 is what? 850# with driver? If the 600 powered car gets a 100# handicap that's 900#, not too far off.... CR

The snow will leave soon-time to get out to the garage Just letting you know what the min weight is.
