Is there a material in between tungsten and lead that would make weight . Tungsten is to pricey for me.

none that would be cheaper than tungsten and/or that wouldn't get you a serious fine from your DNR.
Maximum Velocity has a good selection of weights at reasonable prices.
How expensive is the tungsten you are looking at? It's not exactly lead but it sure aint gold either.

Ohiofitter, try your local sporting goods store or fishing tackle shop. My son thought my tungsten fishing weights would look cool on his car, like jet engines jutting out the back. They actually worked really well. They were 1.5 oz ea. and weren't that expensive. I am sure they are not 100% tungsten, probably around 95%, but I just ordered some more from bass pro shops in .5 oz, .75, 1 oz., and 1.5 oz.

Hey Derby Doc:
Actually, "Ichiban" is one of my two Pro-Mods -- its the reddish one that look like a door handle. It ran at PWDRacing last month. I think you are thinking of Wasabi.
Hey Ichiban,
I'm definitely no physics professor. The way my cars look no one would buy one.
Sorry ohiofitter,
Looks like we've commandeered your thread.

Oh yeah, Now I remember. Wasabi was the pure stocker. How could I forget that car?
