Ok so here is what I have added.....

UMI SFC's
UMI Chrome moly double adjustable LCA's
UMI LCA relocation brackets
UMI adjustable panhard bar
Pacesetter headers
Borla Catback

What is all of this adding to my weight?

UMI Performance

The LCA's and PHB are both lighter then factory, so you did not add weight there, you actually removed a small amount. The relocation brackets are about 6 lbs. I do not know which SFC's you have but our tubular 2-Points are 24lbs and CM is 20lbs, the boxed are 28lbs and the 3-Points are 35lbs and 31lbs in CM.

Hope that helps!

I thought it could be interesting for you guys. I've measured weight of all 4 corners of my TransAm. Here it is:
LF: 468 RF: 456
LR: 326 RR: 345
total: 1595kg
that is with ~1/3 of tank, and with 2 wheels (16" TA rims+MT slicks) in the trunk, but without front pass. seat.
hope this info will be useful

The hump in the floor where you set the t-tops when you take them off in the rear hatch area.

How do you figure the AC fan motor weighs 21 pounds?
It's more like 3 pounds for the motor and blower wheel. I have a certified scale not a bathroom scale.
What are you using to weigh this stuff with?

I think they are referring to the weight of the entire blower assembly under the dash.

Just found this piece that I don't need since I took my AIR and cruise control **** off. It's attached to the sway bar bracket/bushing.

Weighs about 1lb with bolts

Thats awsome they call loosing weight adding hp. I hope they realizw that corvette exhausts dont generally fit on F-bodys and we dont have trunk lids

I think this is mainly weight numbers for Camaros/Firebirds/Trans Ams and some of Corvettes. If you have specific weight reductions for Corvette, I can add to the list and specify. It is a proven record that better track times appear when the total weight is lowered.

In removing the heater core how much is coolant capacity reduced? I'd like to calculate the loss of the water weight also. LT1 application.

Just fill up the heater core with water and weigh it full vs empty.

^ Haha, good point. I should have thought of that. I need to remove and weigh the related hoses also.

does the bumper impact absorber help keep the shape of the bumper?especially the front at higher speeds.i was wanting to pull it to save weight but not if the nose will be pushed in and lose shape over time.

no, it doesn't...do a search and you'll find plenty of info, some people make brackets for peace of mind.

Yes it does. At high speed the nose can flatten out, but if you make a small frame under it with thin wall tubing close to the the body skin it will maintain it's shape. I have seen noses completely flatten out at high speed without bracing.
