I burn about .4 gallons/minute w/ boost on the race track. (about ~.25G/minute NA).

So that means in a 30 minute race I'd lose about 84 lbs out of the back of the car at the end of a race. (53lbs NA).

That should definitely be noticeable, but likely controllable. Personally I'd want the 80lbs as close to the middle (and bottom) of the car as possible.

With the Wilwood BBK is it worth just getting the front set and not the rears? I believe theres a $500-600 difference in price.

You can remove the OEM battery tray and battery and use a lighter battery for a 10 - 15 lbs weight savings, depending on which battery you use.

I read the whole thing about aonth ago. I forgot what it was so I posted in here. My main question wasn't really about wieght but how to remove everything and how does the heater work once you do remove the ac stuff (condencer, lines, pump)

It says 23.5 pounds but I read some where that if you remove the compresser, lines, condencer, etc that it's around 100 pounds. If it's only 24 pounds I'll keep the ac do the gf doesn't bitch but if it's 100 pounds or so I'll put up with the bitching for the wieght savings. Lol
