You won't save weight with a new radiator...the one you posted is as big as my BeCool radiator, and although they seem to weigh about the same dry, the BeCool (and that one) will hold MUCH more coolant. Again, the radiator isn't a part I'd be looking at to save weight...it's job is too important.
Whats the stock weight of ___________.
I want a number, not an explanation.
Because I searched and cannot find it.
Sorry, but Im not in the mood anymore for question and answer. Time is running out, my track day is soming up, im running behind and I need to order my new battery soon, since the old one needs to be replaced anyhow.
Also I keep adding weight to the car, Im sick of it. hell even the rear relocation bracket adds 10 lbs. Im trying to lose weight.
Please help out with the question or dont help at all
Need stock battery weight, the CCA, reserve life, etc on stock
and although not originally part of the original question of the thread. would like to know thermostat factoids. Since Ive heard both good and bad from 160degree stats.
thank you, and didnt mean to sound mean or anything, but I havent been getting any REAL answers to what Im asking here.
I know jegs and summit carry that battery just call there tech line and ask them. I was actually looking at the same battery. Im thinking of going with the 21 pounder though because its got more cca's. Good luck.
Then get off your lazy *** and find the information yourself. Stop being a little bitch about it. I have my stock radiator right here, and the BeCool right next to it. I even have a bathroom scale. And guess what...you aren't getting the information.
If you click on my homepage I have everything listed I have removed for weight reduction. After removing the heat and replacing with a chrome moly k-member and upper & lowers, the car weighs 2825.

and I found out the battery
CA, reserve capacity and CCA
the Race battery is better than OEM with these #s. So Im going with it, and that's that. Im not sacrificing anything but money and to me thats worth it.
and thanks to whoever posted useful information.
If anyone is interested I have a used dyna batt that's for sale. I have it listed in the ls1tech classifieds. It has an aluminum bracket and adaptors for the cables. The bat weighs 13.5# and the bracket is 3.5#

STupid Autozone, they dont have the reserve life information on their battery.
Anyways I checked em out physically and An OEM battery had
810 ca, 650 cca, 95 reserve capacity.
910ca, 720 cca, and 90 reserve capacity
The Reserve capaicty on the light batteries are lower, like 18, 24, and 54, etc..
But can equal out the CCA and CA.. So if Im a DD, with a u/d pulley n cam, could this really hurt me? I mean Ill crank it and drive it every day...
