Maybe it's only 1/2 pound and the less weight is worth it like a thousand other tiny seemingly insignificant things the SS racers do.
seems odd but maybe it's the 1/2lb thing or counterweight location. i should've looked closer. i've got a 440 that i took about 3/4lb per cylinder of weight off vs stock by using light parts and it didn't seem that much weight was removed from the crank. shruggy
