You guys are a bad influence, I'm just saying. I lost a 1/4 LBS on the headlight buckets. Lost a few pounds on the pedal assy. After welding up the steering column that was flexing bad without anything bolted to it. You straight line guys may not worry about this but I do but I'm trying to hit over 1g in the turns.

What's up with the aluminum floor sound/heat shield covering? That there looks like it adds all the weight back in. Is that correct? Huge exhaustive effort on the holes and neat, but it gets the job done.

Getting closer to the SV1.......... Closer but by design, they signal way differently and so far, I'm possibly pitching Dominators and running these based on initial testing but the track will tell the story........

If I ever hit lotto I will be able to go EFI,'till then I have stick with what I have.I am confident I will achieve my legal limit and then just maintain what I have.It's been a very long road! Best of Luck on the new style carb Dominic! The Dominator is not going away any time soon

What's up with the aluminum floor sound/heat shield covering? That there looks like it adds all the weight back in. Is that correct? Huge exhaustive effort on the holes and neat, but it gets the job done. Yes the insulation adds weight but I melted and pair if tennis shoes driving one of my old hotrods so there so there needs to be some heat shielding. This was put in years ago before the project was side tracked and the car was just a Promod build. Yep I started to play with Porsche for a number of years and the car was just sitting unfinished. Then I started to run SCCA Solo II with the Porsche and before you know it the old stalled project is now being built for Cam T class. If you look you can see the Holley HP controller mounted to the firewall to move the weight back plus keeping it cooler. There is a Classic air A/C box next to it That is lighter but with the Sanden compressor it adds a little weight. With this in mind that is why my target weight is between 3300 and 3400 lbs and not lower. The car started life weighing between 3700 and 3800 lbs and the first 200 lbs was easy and I'm now looking for the next 200 lbs. I'm weighing parts and using the lighter one. I'm just not trying lighten the car but move the weight around for a better corner weight balance. Edit: Both of the weight loss up front and high up and I moved the weight down low so a win with comfort.

Do you mean Ditching the dominators......? And these are lighter by design as well? If it runs as good, yes I will drive and race these cos they are bad azz so far and throttle response like is nothing else.........
