Congrats to the firepunk crew on the 7 sec pass.

Chassis to 7.99 if i understood correctly. Will need more now.

Imho, almost 5000 lbs at that speed is a lot of bad things waiting to happen... May be time to lax the weight limitations for safety concerns

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where things go from here. The only way, IMHO, to drop weight for this platform is an aluminum block, aluminum head, Ford 8.8 in the rear and a half ton front axle. But that'll probably only shave 500 pounds off...

That's not the case at all. Truck has a steal cab, easy switch to glass. Can go to a smaller all time 4wd tcase. Removed stock frame under cab and go full tube chassis. Fab 9 axles front and rear. Aluminum block. Ect. Still a lot of Weight on the table. Truck still has factory frame horns with weight box provisions.
It's going to be a very interesting year to say the least and I bet you see that final match up more then a few times this year

Wouldn't removing stock frame under cab take them out of pro street and into another class?

Very Impressive, FirePunk got the MPH record, Jackson has the ET record at 8.163. Firepiunk got beat by Jackson in the final on a hole shot, and missed the ET record by 4/1000's running a 8.12 to Jackson's 8.14. Great racing, great track prep as well.

Lavon has stated before that his chassis currently weighs around 4900# which makes the 7.99 even more impressive. Congrats firepunk crew!
