Front-End 6ft in Air! Not what you thought!
Just in case you don't troll the drag race section, here is my custom aluminum front support. 10lbs total, 20 with radiator. A nice way to make some room for you turbo guys and lose 50lbs at the same time. Here is a link to the thread in the drag section...

If you are serious about losing weight off the car, you can use a Pro Mod "V Battery". Its a 16V system, but has a post for 12V as well. Typical Optima/Turbostart/DieHard is roughly 38-55lbs. The V Battery is 9-13 depending on the model. Lithium Ion Cells, and need the charger (maybe in your case the alternator? re configured *slightly* as well.
A friend of mine is a dealer and can get you abit of a break on one, though they aren't real cheap even with a discount...

The stock PCM would probably get fragged on the 16V system, Big Stuff, DFI etc run just fine, along with Fuel Pumps, starters, etc (better actually). Like I said it has a 12V post too.
I assume you still have the alternator (Get rid of it and lose some more weight
), they have this one:

If you see something interesting give my buddy Todd a call, and tell him I told you he'd take good care of ya. www.ToddHoernerRacing.com
