thats a lot.. how long would it take for you to put all that back on and revert the car to standard weight?

[12secondv6]

I wouldn't.

Who cares? It's never going back, it's a race car. I have most of that done, actively working on the rest. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Maf screen

Have you thought about removing the ABS system and replacing the steering wheel? That's a nice list though... damn!

Yes, he has, because there is a 16+ page post at LS1Tech that he has participated in and mentions both of those things.

I've looked into the ABS block delete.

I need to check it out a bit more, that would be another 4 lbs.

Steering wheel.... aftermarket might be lighter but the "look" of a stock one w/ air bag is needed for inspection in NJ... so for now, stock steering wheel stays [img]smile.gif[/img]

look into the full manual brake conversion on billingsley. When I get some money, i want to do the light brakes and the manual conversion. Brakes alone should save 90lbs
