I also have billboards, so tires are bias ply and comparable too. Biggest difference is probably the TKO, which probably adds a few lbs. Lakewood bell might have added a few lbs too (will be changed to a QT shortly).

Can't remember if it was Dwight or someone else, but they said the CSXs ran north of 2500lbs. I knew my car was heavy but daaaaaaamn, 2600lbs is w/in 200lbs of my 66 Mustang. The only difference between Doug's set-up and mine are the aluminum heads and QT bell housing, which might save 30-40lbs at best.

I know where I can save about 15lbs, but that would require time in the gym, better diet, and drink lite beer in lieu of the heavier beers..........ain't gonna happen.
