Na man if you add more horsepower you'll eventually need more weight in the back to get more traction. Most 1/4 mile cars have metal plates in various places just like those tractor pulls. In his case that build will help if he wanted a supercharger in the future.They ruined that beautiful Dodge. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The cool way to add weight to a car is to get subs. That or a fat girlfriend.
Yes, some drag racers use ballast strategically, but this situation is FAR from that. Those drag cars you are talking about have gone through extensive scrutiny to reduce over all vehicle weight (Ive seen people remove 75% of a frame's material by drilling a million holes in it, for example). You make it sound like walling off your muscle car is a performance enhancing technique, nothing could be further from the truth. That car has had an extensive amount of weight added to it, basically centered on the car, not centered directly over the rear axle like the ballast you referred to. And that's a lot more weight than you would use for wheel ballast even if it was placed over the rearend.Na man if you add more horsepower you'll eventually need more weight in the back to get more traction.
