Yeah it was alot of weight but I I wasnt worried about it as I was going to more than make up for it with HP.

I will say adding an iron block engine to my car felt no different to me than it did stock. (Except for the power increase.)

Mine really didnt "feel" any different either. Funny thing is I have my front sway bar out and it seems to hold the body down better when in turns but still stretches the suspension out really good on launches.
