Looks like the exhaust is not exiting in the stock location either.

 

Or just strait pipes?

Nope he has headers, cats, and mufflers, just no tips...........but that is changing soon.

lol, i was gonna say that headers sure do weigh alot.

 

So, We gonna get any tips and tricks, or do we have to guess on our own.

 

I think a lot of the stuff has already been figured out. But there still has to be some more secret's, because with all the stuff we have figured out, it doesn't add up to -800lbs!

Ok, I've been taking stuff off for about a 1yr. The biggest weight savers I believe was my Bogarts, there lite as a feather.Next all the easy stuff rear bumper, all the swaybars,hitch,spare, spare holder,Wiper assembly(rain-X) overflow, fan, heavyass Cervini hood,Driving lights(little parachutes)God I cant think of everything right now but I'll look up stairs and make a list for everybody. My hard cover is made of 1/8" Lexan. I still have cruise, tilt air, PS,P seats( Sparco EVOII.)
I'll stop for now untill I get up stairs. Ed

 

What's your best time so far Ed? Any dyno #s to compare so we can assess how much your weight loss efforts are worth?

 

Pretty sweet man!

-Mike

 

800???????? A stock L weighs 4670#.

My truck weighs 4900lbs with me and 70lbs worth of nitrous bottles. I can drop the ARE bed cover, passenger side seat, hitch, front and rear sway bars, less gas in tank, run on boost only, and drop the tailgate for an easy 350/400lbs drop.

 

cyntaxx: Going out for the first time next week. Last fall dyno'ed 394@497 Best ET 12.2@112.4 I have to find sheets. It's a real mild tune. Just trying to get as quick and fast as I can with HP I got by weight loss and aero,and suspension. Maybe try to keep original eng. for a few years. I'll post pics as soon as I can find. Ed


Dont flame me on the orange paint, just wanted to make it show up a little better.

 

Which roll pan is that and why is it all cut out? I wanna learn as much as I can for putting my truck on a diet.

 

I kinda like the orange paint, its different and it makes the screens stand out.
Am I correct in my thinking that the screens allow the "air" to pass thru without causing drag?

 

It's a APC rollpan. I had the L on the hoist a while back and was just eye phuckin it, and looking back at the rollpan it looked like a big parachute. So I relieved it a bit. I'll be repainting it soon. Ed
