This is truly looking out to be a scale wars type of thread started by no other than RMCHGR himself.
I tossed that scale in the trash when I got home the other night.

Back to the headlight topic... A few years ago I swapped to a plastic H4 conversion headlight I picked up for $35/pair off amazon. I have since swapped to LED's for the low current draw and awesome light output, but was digging in the basement and came across the old ones, so I threw one on my scale. 8 oz with the bulb and rubber boot https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UG9K04/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1looks like they went up in price Thanks for the info. I was unable to find if they made the smaller headlight for a Challenger. This would be good weight savings for the race car.

When you showed I look at again and seen the I didn't level the scale. The new weight is 8 lbs 7 oz. Here a another pic of the scale. And yes I also have a wood shop and that is where the drill press is at so the scale is there to see hoe much weight I'm removing.

Oh Sheeet. Never mind that starter, what's up with that super Kool scale????
This is truly looking out to be a scale wars type of thread started by no other than RMCHGR himself.
Mine is made in Mississippi and with good craftsmanship. Come on guys, break out your best scales and show 'em on the glass. I've got one in reserve for the last close to chest card move. LOL. You know... i was just going to post about scales... seeing as you guys are getting down to a 1lb difference in starters. Just thought i should mention that using a bathroom scale is NOT an accurate way to weigh non-human-sized items and beings. It just doesn't work, and can easily make or break your 1lb obsessions. I use a calibrated dairy scale, goes to 60lbs, and you hang it, and it has a hook on it. Even then were are splitting hairs past 0.1lbs, but its enough for what i need. I've seen people (at gyms) weigh plates and such on gym scales (like in Hemi-itis' post) for years, and they can be as far as 5lbs off a 45lb item, while being relatively accurate when a person uses it. Dont use people scales.

How much weight can I save if i go from 20-50 to 10-3o?? Just do what i did and keep it under 2 liters. Yeah... might get a bit hot, but if you build a loud enough exhaust you wont hear any ov the engine drama... Did you know you can actually run a 440 on 1.5 liters ov oil? Did you also know that a 440 will still run at 400 degrees? Kudos to the factory engineers. Carry on.
