I really enjoyed the video tom! Especially the breakdown of the weight and distribution. I can use that to show people that say it "ruins the weight balance and makes it a lot heavier"

Like all the other videos, this one is well done. And it's a great summary on the full package after you've had time to live with it for a while. I'm glad Thunderbolt exceeded your expectations! I know mine did on that first open-header test run and every time since..!
Beautiful build for sure. Hope to meet you somewhere soon in 2016 with a gathering of V8Roadsters.

Even those that consider themselves knowledgeable assume it'll be greatly heavier than stock and won't be able to put the power to the ground. So much fun hurting their feelings head to head.

Thank you sir and I can't wait to do so!
Thank you sir! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the weight breakdown info. I just wanted to clear the air and show exactly what a car like this weighs in comparison to the stock car and others. Many casual car folks don't delve into curb weights and lbs/hp ratios and such when comparing one performance car to the next. It's nice to have hard data now that can't be denied.

I was kind of surprised at the 2700 number too but was delighted to see the tiny difference from the stock MSM. Not that it will change the wives tail that the cars become boat anchors but at least now we have a video to point the naysayers to with solid proof.
Really great video Tom thank you so much!

And that's on your car which is an NB with full creature comforts and such. My car and others like it, a stripped down NA with no ac, power steering, airbags, or much of anything will be considerably lighter too. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained only 100 lbs from the swap.
