Some good points being made about heavy + power = breaking things

I don't however see it being easy to get a big block 1/2 ton to weigh 3,600lbs but I don't see it being that far off from 3,800ish. My alum LS1 / 4L80E swapped 63 short Fleetside weighed in at 3,840 with me in it (I'm 180, so 3,660) with a full tank of gas. Mine was making 410rwhp with too small of a TQ converter and best pass of 12.3 @ 110 with a couple of 12.4's, 12.6's 12.7's while getting it dialed in.
