Nothing to do with this thread? It has all but to do with this thread.
I went from a Mopar M1 (12-3/4 Lbs) to the current Edelbrock Victor (11-3/4 Lbs) and saved one pound high on the motor.
Also went from a Bigs 950 based 1000 cfm carb (11 Lbs) to a Pro-Systems 950 based 1000 cfm (9-1/2 Lbs) and saved another 1-1/2 Lbs.
Now take into mind that on some combo's when changing a manifold or a carb to save a few pounds, The lighter items may end up not giving you all out performance in light of saving those few pounds. Some times a heavier part may give you more torque to make up for the weight.
My car needed the upgrade in performance and the downgrade in weight and it works fine.
Every cars heart is different.
Note the no name Victor. A few tricks to not be a billboard out in the open market.
