[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16550716, member: 188865"] Some thoughts. 1) Antigravity has better offerings for Li battery. If you want max weight savings, you can go with an ATX-20, if you want 30 Ah, you can still save the same amount of weight as the Archangel battery (and it comes with monitoring, overdraw and remote start reserve, etc). 2) The bumper supports on the GT350 are already lightweight aluminum, there's virtually no weight to save there (I already looked into this, unless you plan on doing something completely custom and unsafe, it's already pretty light). 3) The weight savings on the hood and trunk aren't what you might think. Even with the mid-tier CF hoods, you're only saving like 6 lbs or so. Every lb helps and the hood area is high value (high and forward) but just be aware it's a high $/lb savings. 4) I'd consider a battery relocation kit, from what I've read when put fully rear (on the passenger side) it's the weight balance equivalent to moving the motor back a few inches. 5) You don't mention anything about a fuel system. Granted your target power will allow you to run the OEM components, one of the failings of the OEM system is the saddle tanks and the jet syphon system that leaves the motor starved (even under N/A power) on long sweeping left hand turns. I'd strongly consider doing a surge tank or contacting me about other in tank solutions. The last thing you want to do is spend $35k on a motor and power adder combo only to smoke the engine because you starve it of fuel. Keep in mind, fuel is easy for trailer queens that rip down the drag strip, it's MUCH more complicated with IRS (aka saddle bag tank) and extended periods of high flow. 6) I have a love hate relationship with jacking rails. They're great but add weight. I think some of the jacking block solutions probably would have been better, but I'm hauling around weight all the time just for protecting the car from the jack.
