How Much Does It Weigh?

[usmcpony]

BMR does, I run the racecraft its a bit heavier because of the strength design but man is it built ever so nice (great for street/strip). Now race craft offers shorter a-arms that don't weigh as much ither

Im building my car for corner carving. Im not going to race it. I just want Porsche like handling. Which one would you recommend. Is BMR strong enough? Or should I go with racecraft?

Heavy Internals mean more rotational or moving mass. So it would take more wouldnt it. I would have gone lighter forged internals if they make it for our car. Titanium Valves, lighter crank, pistons, rods. I dont know much about internals that are out for our car. But that would be ideal because it would increase revs faster.

What do the FR500S, the FR500C, the '08 and '09 American Iron champs, and the '08 A-Sedan champ all have in common?

- they still have stock front control arms on them.


Spend you money on parts that are necessary.

I thought they had the ford racing front control arms. Which pretty much look like the stockers with some holes spaced in them to remove some weight.

Did anybody determine what grille is the lightest?

Anyone weigh their bullitt grille?

No, but it ain't light...probably just ounces lighter than the GT grille. I'd bet the FR500 grille is in the running for lightest.

I took all the Ac crap out under the hood, anyone know how much Ac stuff is under the dash?

I will probably remove it all this winter regardless

it does the exact opposite...it protects the battery from under hood temp heat...the biggest killer of a battery is heat.

Does anyone have a list of light weight streetable wheels? Im looking for drag and road course wheels.

 

[95ragtop]

Foose Nitrous 20x8.5 with 255/35/20 = 55lbs
20x10 with 295/35/20 = 63 lbs
stock 17" GT wheels w/235/??/17 = 50 lbs
Knock off Ford GT wheels 18x9 wheel only = 22 lbs.
So by putting stock wheels on I dropped 36 lbs.

You won't find many for a cheap price but Steeda wheels are not bad for the price.

Anything BBS, Enkei, Fikse will be great lightweight wheel.

I will me getting either a set of CCWs, BBS or Fikse wheels by next summer.

Sorry I didn't want to make a new tread. I figured it be ok here because it is removing like an oz.

Only thing found that cheap is the Enkei RPF1. I made a post in tire section. I plan on trying them out this summer. They are 18.5 lb while stock 18s are some where in the neighbor hood of 26.5 lb. They cost about 300.
