Assuming the scal (and my memory) ar correct. That's with the two turbos that weight 15-20 pounds each, as well as the water-to-air intercooler that weighs 35 pounds, along with 40 or so pounds of water and ice.
Things that helped offset that weight are the front drag tires, which weigh a lot less than street radials, removing ALL the HVAC stuff under the dash, having virtually no exhaust and no mufflers after the turbos, split front bumper, electric water pump, alumium radiator, aluminum/plastic master cylinder, swapped out the TH350 for a PowerGlide with a Dedenbear case, the rear Aerospace brakes saved about 40 pounds alone.
I'd like to upgrade the front brakes to lightweight Aeospace units as well, and run a set of the new Magnum 2.0 wheels, which only weigh about 9 pounds each.
