The only thing adding weight is the chrome moly cage. I run at nhra tracks and have to be nhra legal. Don't worry, I stll have at least another 250 lbs to take out of the car with the spindles, drag brakes, manual master, abs delete, speed glass, and a few misc areas that have a date with my sawzall.
