In fact, most people could start running and/or go to the gym and lose 25-30 lbs and achieve the same weight savings as the alloy heads, plus they'll become healthier humans, which shouldn't be "discounted."  |
Yea for me losing 10 pounds is not inconsequential but that's all I need to lose. But I think it is significant because of where it is, up high and in the front. Have you ever put a cast iron head on an engine while it's in the car you might appreciate the significance more. Pull off a cast iron intake and the front rides high. You are trying to build a high performance car after all.
