Found another negative 10 more lbs over the lightweight Braille battery with the kronospark battery...

 

I've just sat and read all of this. I earlier gutted all the plastics apart from dash and the above plastics to the sun visors. Over the weekend I'll be tackling the hood and A/C if I can find a belt.
Many thanks from the UK!

 

idk if this is dead or not! but can you just run an a/c delete belt, with the compressor still in place. that'll take strain off the engine, therefore helping with power/weight ratio... no?

 

I don't think thatll make that much difference if any. When your A/C isnt running the clutch on the compressor isnt engaged so the pulley is just freewheeling. I don't think eliminating the freewheeling pulley is gonna do anything more.

 

Correct

 

Good information on weight reduction

 

Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that the stock exhaust was over 60#s.

I just removed and weighed mine. It's 51 pounds. I even used a second scale to confirm and got the exact same number.

 

The OP included his Cat in the exhaust weight I believe.

 

stock cat felt to me heavier than 9 pounds...

 

Stock cat is 12#

Stock cat + stock catback would be 63... Exactly what OP listed
