I think it is Billingsley Racing. They're a sponsor on this site.

I have had the ABS disabled for quite some time (lost it when I went with the 9" and spool).

I never noticed the loss of ABS at all, even driving around with skinnies on the car all of the time.

I was under the impression that the ABS brain/solenoid was ~8-10 lbs. Maybe I am mistaken though...I will weigh it when it is off of the car.

According to the Colonel's weight reduction list (a few posts down), the ABS is listed @ 9lbs.

That's the block on the driverside next to the fuses right? Is there anything else I can yank after removing ABS? By the way, I know that block weighs alot more for LT1 cars.

the ABS block on LT1 cars is 9lbs also. on traction control LT1 cars it is 18lbs though, not sure about LS1s with TC. even if it was 0 lbs it would still be worth ripping out of there for the extra engine bay space
