Weight loss per item(s): K-member/A arms 35 lbs
Lose Spare/Add fill fit 32 lbs
1 piece Alum. DR 23 lbs (rotating mass loss)
Odessy Battery 22 lbs
Lighter Wheels Forged 18x9.5 18 lbs (severe rotating mass)
Shorty headers 12 lbs
Radiator support 11 lbs
Alum. Flywheel 8 lbs (rotating mass)
Upgraded Brake kit rotars 8 lbs (rotating mass)
M Pilot Sport Tires 18" 285 R 255 F 10 lbs (severe rotating mass)
Better LCR's 10 lbs
Passenger Race seat 8 lbs
Drivers Race seat 24 lbs
Total weight loss 221 lbs ( 67 lbs rotating mass)
About a 30 HP equivalent HP gain from the still weight loss, plus another 20 from the rotating mass loss, plus far better handling with a suspension change out.
N/A power and exhaust upgrades and 93 octane tune put you at 365 HP or so, add the 50 HP equivalent gain from weight and rotating mass loss, plus add 3:73 gears for another 20HP equivalent gain, your at at a 3345 lb 2010 Mustang GT with an equivalent HP of about 435 HP, with far better cornering and power to weight efficiency than the original car. If I had it to do over again, this would be the goal. Erik
