Default Re: A 30 year journey, and a 2nd chance.

Almost net 100 lbs. removed just from under the carpet, and I still have probably another 20 lbs. alone up both sides on the firewall, that I can remove another time (I flat got super cramped and tired of scraping up the firewall under the dash, pedals, etc., so left the rest above the carpet line.

My math (on paper at least), at this point said w/ the empty 14 lb. weight box/torque strap combo, still inside the engine bay (So I can adjust wt. later), that I was going to scale about 20 lbs above the DF/S min. wt..

Time to install the carpet, shifter mount and new shifter, and make some adjustments to the console to slide over it and remount in the future (if going back to EF/S later I will need that weight), just thinking ahead as dropping the weight also requires it to run .95 seconds faster just to make the DF/S Index, and with the stock ECM/PM at elevation would still be a miracle 345 lbs. lighter (I don't care how far under it can run at Pomona (or any near sea level track), I am stuck w/ the lousy elevation and ever worsening DA (corrected not enough at even +3/10ths), of Las Vegas being my home track, Phoenix next closest, then Pomona, and Bakersfield, Sonoma, etc....On to the shifter install, replace seats and the rest of the interior trim.Click image for larger version
