Chris-
50 to 150 pounds extra is something to think about.
You are in for a little retuning of the suspension.
Bigger brakes and more tire wouldn't hurt either.
Jay plopped his new GSXR600 into his chassis and said something like
"Hmm, I think I need shocks" in one of his posts.

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....

Chris , as you break things or continually get outbraked into the
corners
then those other things will have to change.
But build it and have a good time. The snow will leave soon-time to get
out to the garage
Just letting you know what the min weight is.
