That's no secret. You should just do the pt4400. Seems like you spend more time on the track with that car than on street. Even so, you probably wouldn't mind street driving a bigger stall.

It was lighter then stock, but not by as much as some on this website claim. It is molded, it fits pretty good, price is nice, quality is nice.

Shipping weight was like 17lbs, optima is 40/45 I guess. So pretty substantial, plus NO added cable weight from relocating to the rear.

20+ pounds off of the nose is a nice place to lose it.

Any weight savings on the radiator? Where'd you get the battery? PM me if you'd like.

If anything the radiator is slightly heavier (tad) and holds a little more liquid. The stock one with the plastic side tanks is super light. As far as the battery I believe I got it from summit, no sweat they sponsor here regardless. I will see if I can get you a link to it.

I still need one of those light weight batteries. I'm wondering if I do one it could leave me stranded some where. Have you tried it yet?

That's one badass looking radiator, where did you get it from? The racestars look awesome as well, do you have any pics of the car with both the fronts and rears on?

You're really going to town on that car man wow. Ever think you will pull the a/c?
After I pulled mine the nose lifted more.

That battery looks like the way to go its $20 cheaper than the Odyssey. I just have to take a look and figure how I want to mount it. Looks like they have brackets for those batteries. Who knows how well they would work though and the $ is kinda steep!

I agree that it was an 11.3X pass and a slip below to compare to
Anywho...your 10.XX looks VERY promising with a little better air and the new mods
Also, even with the added weight of the cables, moving the battery to the rear is said to be equal to moving the motor back 2" (I think it was...maybe 3" ?)
