I do have something on the way from forced inductions

The difference between stock and modified is amazing. Of course power, but mainly handling. Driving the truck now without all that weight over the front end is fantastic. It handles so much better now. I will keep this difference in mind for the next truck

I removed the 80e, air to water intercooler, methanol injection, steel cold side pipes, steel drive shaft and cross member, turbo, and Kyle's schedule 40 manifold

Theres probably several hundred pounds in all. Made a huge difference.

Oh I thought you meant just over the front wheels. The sch 40 pipe is a bit rediculous

Yep, Kyle goes hard when he builds his **** The weight of the trans is partial over the rear axle as well, but I'm sure it played a small part in the handling. Either way, the ECSB is no more. On to smaller and better things. lol
