Re: How much weight dose it save

200lbs savings like a whole helluva lot, but ive never seen one in person, so... If its 150lbs, you can assume that 100lbs = .09 seconds in a 1/4. At least thats what i've been raised on. ~~.15s, which can really add up. If you are going to make it a true sleeper, I'd back half it with a tonneau. You'll loose a lot of weight taking out that bed floor (of course, as long as you dont care about it no longer being used as a truck).

Personally I think that front end is money that could be better spent on go fast parts - ie equipping your motor to take more n2o. Unless of course you are going for an all out build, or want the handling of that set up. Just MHO.

Keep us posted
