Got my wilwood drag brakes to replace the wilwood streets and my new battery.
Down 75lbs
I have a game plan for next thing. .050 stainless exhaust with v bands to remove muffler. I want to put better mufflers on it for the drive but they weigh 11lbs each
Right now i have .065 aluminized exhaust with bullets

Down 75lbs That's A LOT. Are the street brakes much lighter than the drag ones or is that mostly in the battery?

FMJ,your a poet & uknowit I could afford to loose a few lbs.One of the things I was thinkin was eliminating the accumulator, BUT A guy we know who is in the know says NO! Not gunna get carried away,but a few pounds couldn't hurt. Dom,you started a little fire,FMJ dumped 10 cords of dry,seasoned light weight WOOD

Joining in on the madness... Spent an hour or so after work knocking an idea that has been floating around my head for a few years.
Replicated the stock inner door handles in 063" Alum. I'm not the Alloy Artist that FMJ is, but I do alright.
Still needs some finishing touches and polishing.
Net savings: 1/4 lb...I suppose I could have just as easily left the spare change at home...haha
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

The drag brakes are 8 lbs lighter than the vented rotor street brakes. I have lost around 20 lbs of unsprung weight off the front of the car. The battery accounts for 19 lb loss

The battery accounts for 19 lb loss Thought that might have been a lot for brakes and a battery, thanks for clarifying. 10" drum spindle?

Naah, I got small bolt pattern. Got too much in my crummy SSBC brakes to change 'em now anyway. Calipers are light though with small rotors. Car stops I guess.
