40lbs sounds like the diet is off to a good start.

Very nice, also looking at the in car video again, I think you let off at the first cone for the final trap and ET, make sure you drive threw the markers to get a great pass.

Made a new battery mount today, I’m going move the battery back to the front of the car. Currently I have a rear mounted PC680. The battery is on its way out so I picked up a PC545, It’s 4 pounds lighter. I will be removing a lot of 2AWG going to the back of the car, the sealed box and some other stuff. It should shave off 15 pounds, at a minimum. I’m also integrating a solid state relay up front for the shut down switch.

The diet is in full progress!
- 40 for the fuel tank
- 30 for the front STM brakes alone
- I have the molded flex-a-lite rear windows. We will see how much they shave off, they are super light.
- Being conservative with 15 on the battery move
