TQ is lightest.  Holleys are bricks, for sure. Not billet but my Proform carbs are way lighter than any Holley I own.

FMJ gave me a partial sheet of lexan in the event I do my side windows,that would be a min 30LB save,Have not installed the aluminum strut bars yet. Removing the rear window regulators should be worth 15 lbs. But as much as I am hypnotized to lose weight I feel that with my recent intercooler install I will easily get to my legal limit of 8.50  3700 lb BRICK!

Just to bring back the longest post in Moparts history and to keep it going a billet 4150 is roughly 4.8 lbs. lighter than it's zinc counterpart......

I can't be certain that one is related to the other as there were other modifications...

New carbon fiber hood and scoop. Home made, not super light. But still saved almost 17lbs. Of course I'll have to add paint. Also went to 16 volt so now only one battery, 39 lbs lost there
