Default Prochargers , What did you do about the weight ??

Procharged guys ( or similar ) - what did you do to offset the weight increase to the nose of your car ? I'm not gonna go as far a saying it messes up the handling significantly ( I dont road race) , but I feel the extra poundage on sharp turn in . Suggestions ?

If I was worried about the weight, I'd lose about 50 lbs! Having 225 lbs in the drivers seat has to have some effect also. I assume that the 50/50 weight distribution is based on no driver in the car??

I'm about 260 - but the drivers weight is in the middle- rear of the car whereas the procharger is sitting all the way forward in an area that has no way to balance itself out ( That being said I could use a little weight loss myself )

My wheelchair in the back offsets the weight problem. Actually if the extra weight wasn't there I'd swear the nose of the car would lift right off the ground
