All you non V8 People Lied to me about my Handling?

I just weighed the stock 13B out of the car then We just weighed the 5.0 that’s going in, with all the things we didn’t need. PS pump. Air Pump. Idler pulley and Flow-Tech Headers.

What do you think…….After hearing all ( Some of the Bull Poop! ) .. I had to check it for my self.

I will throw in a twist… 13x.5.5 wheels Changed to 17x7.5 F 20x 9.5 R and the battery in the back... Here is the Question! How much weight do you think it Changed?



(This was for all the Guys out there that didn’t know. I’m not reading this stuff. I am going out and doing it, Hands on GUY.)

410lbs including turbos and all accesories, PS, AC , airpump etc. IIRC.

Looks cool, I guess. Actually, I can't see the thumbnails very well.. heh
I am curious, though. How much did the 5.0 weigh? They are all aluminum, right?

Really tho, looks like a good job from what I can tell.
