Weight of FI systems?
Hey guys, humor me -
I'm only looking for modest power gains, as this is my DD. Putting the whole NA vs FI debate aside from a cost, ease, and performance standpoint, I was wondering how much weight FI systems may add to the car. I know that blowers can be heavy, and even a turbo system with all the hardware can add up.
So, all else being equal, does anyone have a rough idea of how much a typical FI system may add? Blower vs. Centrifigal (Vortech) vs. turbo?
Just looking for rough figures, ex. "between 75 and 100 lbs".
Thanks-

The whipple HO kit had a shipping weight of 140, i think. You have to subtract all the stuff you removed to add the whipple like intake manifold, fuel pump, water crossover. I'm sure it's in the 100-120 range of added weight.

I'd guess none. Mine didn't drop any, but I have drop springs.

How much does the front end drop with the added weight?
