MY 89 FC with the LS1 weighed in at 2643lbs with a full tank of gas. I plan to get it down to 2600lbs. My engine made 540hp at the crank which equates to about 430 whp on a mustang dyno. The car ran a 11.9 @ 124 mph on burnt azenis with a 1.96 60 foot. The car handles like snot!
the fc chassis weighs more than the fd an your saying yours weighs less than all the fd's with ls1's listed?

The FC/FD weight difference is minimal; and the lightest FCs are quite a bit lighter than the lightest (USDM) FDs; '86 base models are high 2600/low 2700 lbs; no FDs were that light.

My iron block LS1/FC with an iron block, big turbo setup and full leather/power seats and power windows/moonroof weighed just a hair over 3000 lbs. I should be down to 2850-2900 still keeping power everything with my aluminum block.
