I already have a wideband AND a logger. It's would just delay further HP boosting mods. But saving weight is like modding everything at once, just very slightly.

How about a SAFC or a Maft so you can use the logger and wideband?

Its only a matter of time before the hood and trunklid become next on the weight redux.

CF hood :)
I would like one on the SRT with a CF lid, but on a black car, I think they look great un painted.
Just my opinon.

It is quite aparent that some people on this board are very single-minded. Like Ryan said, dropping weight is like everything overall getting a slight boost. The car will handle better, accelerate quicker, and put less strain on the drivetrain. A good racecar or streetcar has to be well rounded, it can't just have tons of go-fast parts tossed on it. Think of it like this...the olympic runners do a lot more than just run to train, they also swim, bike, lift weights, etc.

I say go for it if it's what you want.

I for one think it will go with the car well.

The main reason I like weight reduction is the less strain on the drivetrain components. I don't want to be breaking hard parts when I launch!

You cant even comprehend the weight difference until you have held one. My buddy has a turbo civic and his carbon fiber hood just stays up when he lifts it, without a hood prop. It is that light that it can just sit on the hinges, which are the same as dsm hinges. Weight loss ( in racing) is always beneficial.
