The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

Sometimes just filling the fuel tank will add a 100 lbs or more, but then again, dead weight out over by the rear bumper is best for traction.

My buddy has an IROC Camaro (i know, I know, a Chevy) He adds 550 lbs of barbell weights in the rear hatch well area and runs no prep events. It works well. He goes 144 mph in the 1/8 on 28x10.5's.

Weight is a funny thing. It either hampers your car's ability to accelerate with a mild to hot drivetrain or it helps it plant better with a really sizzling combo for more acceleration. The trick is not just to remove it all together, but to manage it by moving it around to different parts of the car.
