I did have 3/4 of a tank, also the blower setup adds at least 100lbs, traction bars, bed cover(although lite), me(300lbs), djm lower control arms are much heavier then factory and I'm sure a few other reasons. Only thing removed from the truck that wasn't factory was the front sway bar(40lbs).

I think there zero must have been off. My truck weighed in at 5775lbs at SAR and it weighed in at 5800lbs at Houston the two times I went on the scales. The difference was the level of fuel in the truck. I weigh close to 285 so we are close in weight. I would guess you are in the 5300 ball park with your bed cover on.

I was guessing between 5300/5500 myself.

My truck is over 5000lbs I know... Somewhere on here I weighed it when I first got it with some race scales and it was knocking on that door of 5000 stock.

Edit:

When the truck was stock with a 1/4 tank of gas it was 4928lbs. add all that stuff including me above, and my truck weighs 5500-5600 with me in it.

I think I'm going to go ahead and order my 28" slicks to see if that gives me just enough tire to cross the traps. If not I'll have to pump down to 3.90 or 3.73 Gears.
If you need to go to 3.73 let me know. I have an LSD axle off of my 08' with only 15k miles on it.

Nice time! Does your track require you to cage the vehicle once you hit 12s?
