Every little bit helps....car drives fine no worries on my end...lol

According to the guru's on LS1tech...their weight reduction list claims I've removed 450+ from my car....and I'm still not down...might actually run and get my car weighed and give you all an actual number...

i love ac too, in my trailblazer and civic

Tru2Chevy 06-27-2009 07:18 PM

Hmm.....my list, as best as I can remember:

A/C
sound deadening
front sway bar
power steering
computer
90% of the wiring
stereo & speakers
rear seats & belts
misc. unused brackets

I'm sure the Dana 44 is heavier than a stock 10 bolt, as are the beefed up LCAs and the BMR CM torque arm.

Stock steel DS replaced with stock LS1 DS. LS1 DS will prolly soon be replaced with aftermarket 3.5" aluminum DS. Aluminum heads over stockers saved quite a bit of weight. 16" crosslace wheels & tires are a bit lighter than the stock 15" steel wheels and tires.

That's all I can think of at the moment.
