Depends on your kit, some are rated at the crank and some to the wheels. either way, with the 125 shot you will need to upgrade your fuel pump, they recommend it.A 100 shot, you should be fine but it's better to be safe then sorry, and a 75 shot, you will be fine.I don't have a diablo so i can't help you there.
If you go to www.lightningforceperformance.com they sell the front sway bar removal kit and it dropped almost 26 pounds off the front of my car and easy to install, took about 30 mins.

i did that also, the only thing i done was unscrew it from everthing and take it off... some other usefull things you can do for weight is buy yourself a dynna bat battery, it knocked over 40lbs off most people don't think of that.

If you just took off the sway bar, that's part of the weight, the big metal bracket that hold the radiator and the sway bar attaches to is heavy. The dyna battery would be sweet to have.

I was wanting to do this(Dynna Battery) as well.Ive already cut a little over 200lbs and this would be ideal since its from the front of the car!Where is a good place to buy one?

I actually got mine off ebay... where do i get the radiator bracket at? i didn't even know about that, thanks a lot, i guess i helped you all some with the battery idea. But that is why we all are here to continue outrunning chevys, i love it...I appreciate all the good advise. this question is for norse1974, how did you shed 200lbs.? thats awesome man...This place is great for tips can you tell me honestly how much a 4.10 would help? i mean one guy told me it felt like he gained 50hp. I always thought a 3.55 was pretty good but if it helps e.t.'s that much fill me in... i recently went 13.03 at 107 on stock tires and gears...how much different do you think a 4.10 would make?

Hey glad we can help with your ride and we are thankful for the Battery tip!To answer your question about shedding weight.It is a couple of big things then alot of nickel & diming!LOL!
1.Strip your trunk completely!Tire,jack,carpet & plastic moldings(55-65lbs)
2.Remove CATS with an O-R pipe& remove the heat shields where CATS once were(30lbs)
3.Aluminum Drive shaft(28-30lbs)
4.Remove windshield washer container & lines(5-6lbs)
5.Hood liner(1-1 1/2lbs)
6.BMR sway bar/radiator support delete(26lbs)
7.Remove factory axelbacks & use Loud mouths.I havent done this.Im using MACS.(I would venture a 15-20lbs cut there though if not more)
8.Rear seat delete & all hardware for seat restraints & brackets(35-40lbs)
9.All fenderwell skirts(5-6lbs?)
10.Your idea on the Dynna max battery(40lbs.I still cant believe that!LOL!)
And there are a few other things that you can pull with out hurting the drivability of the car!But this alone on the light side of calculationsadds up to 240lbs!
To answer your 2nd question on gears.If your turning a 13.03 now with your set up,a set of 4:10s will dip you into the 12.90s for sure!
BTW,I tried to find the Dynna Max battery on ebay but nothing came up.?.Did you buy it from an ebay store?

I bought the battery via personal auction...Sorry i can't help with that part, but tobe exacti can't tell youthe actual weight, i havent put the battery's on scales but i was guessing somewhere around 30 to 40lbs. my bad by telling you 40. Thinks a lot for all the tips that was one of the most informative post i've gotten... I ask a lot of questions cause i wan't to get my car in the low 11's with nitrous, i will be getting a procharger kit in a few months... You know how that goes.lol By the way man thats quite a car i see your mods our cars are somewhat similar.

The radiator support will be in the LFP or BMR sway bar delete kit. If you call them, they might just sell that to you. Nitrous will definitley get you into high-mid 11's
(depends on traction). The 4.10's will feel like you gained probably about 20rwhp, i wish it really did though. But it's a great bang for the buck. You'll be in high 12's like mentioned with the gear swap. My 4.30's should be in this week hopefully.
Also i read somewhere that 125 would be ok for the stock fuel pump but after that, you have to upgrade it.

also get the radiator/sway bar delete if you dont road race or take turns fast. I believe thats a mod just for drag racing oriented people.
