If you only knew what really lurks underneath its sheeps clothing. All these weight loss steps I affectionally call "How to race your car and stay married" LOL. Lightweight cars usually stay together longer hence the Husband and Wife fight a lot less. Oh, aluminum hood pins and snap locks take another 1 lb off as do Titanium lug nuts on all four wheels. Cut off the excess header flange material between exhaust ports on the head. 1/2 to 1 lb there. Headers will seal better as well. Titanium header bolts also take off another 1/4 lb.
If I were thinking at the time, I would have added chrome-moly box stock for frame connectors instead of the steel ones on there now. Though, I have heard that chrome-moly will stress crack after a while.
