It cost quite a bit but it was extremely accurate so long as you got the figures for everything right.

Sure you could... but, he attributed it to... "Just sayin. Stock suspension, good install." Then consider that SPF specs the weight w/460 at 2660lbs + 112 for fuel + 220 driver and it's near 3000lbs already... so it's way over 2900 without any lead... not sayin it isn't possible... just sayin...
