I now possess a Braille 21 lbs battery and a new alum air filter lid and base. I was shooting for the Demon to be back on the road around April... but it looks like it may be later, the weather here has been crap since "spring" hit.
By the way anyone else notice we are about 250k views from 3 million?

Keep that Braile battery off the car till you start it if it is brand new. I give my Braille a charge every three months if the car is going to sit for that long or longer. It is light though right?
Yeah, I don't know if this is the longest thread on this site or what, but only the heads of state from this site can proclaim that I guess. The world wants to rid itself of weight, both off its own shoulders and hot cars. hanks for the tip FMJ, that was what I was thinking I'd do since the engine is about a month of nice weather from going back in. Yes it is pretty light though. What charger did you get?

3 Lbs lighter is a whole lot for a crank. Hopefully it doesn't need too much weight to bring it up to smooth speed. New rod bolts I presume? It started over 2 lbs lighter. First shot on the balancer it was over 300 grams heavy. We decided to trim the counter weights. I'll report back with the final number. Doug

Wow 5 Lbs off the crank, that is what a road or Autocross racer like s to see a motor that rev's faster. Plus 5 Lbs off the nose of the car. It's a win win. OK maybe not for the check book. If I didn't have a new crank sitting in the box waiting for the block to come back from the machine shop I would look in to one.
