Is this one of the available kits advertised that's been installed, or is this an LMR kit?
I'm guessing it's the A&A kit, but I'm not for sure.
I really like the finishing on the intercooler.

Nice looking work guys. Any rough idea on how much wt is added to car with sc and components?

So this must be an early A&A kit. The kit will have less welds in the charge tubing. Plus it will be 8 rib! Interesting I have seen three intercooler placements now!

There will be no welds in the next batch of tubing. I'm hoping to have 25 sets any day now.
The hood vent does fit back in place. That was obviously very important.
I'm using SFI approved balancers with interchangeable rings, much like the CTSV balancers. We can go larger on the bottom as well as smaller on the top to change boost levels. It will be a very short dedicated 8 rib belt.
Even this early one looks really good, in my opinion.
Great job guys.

Not sure about how much would be saved by removing the wiper motors and wipers (probably around 10 lbs), and then there's just the superficial stuff that will save a few lbs here and there.
Could always lighten the flywheel for another 15 lbs, but that's not cheap (2-3k). For the amount of power added, though, the power added:additional weight ratio on these SC kits is very nice.

I also like the idea how the airflow to the IC is on your system. I am still a bit fuzzy on how the airflow on other systems will pull up from the bottom, and the efficiency of it.

Around 20 lbs savings with LTs. Can take another 4-6lbs draining the washer fluid. Another 4 lbs removing the tank.
