3G weighs right in at around 3200lbs +. The forged pistons

and rods are there obviously for stronger internals under boost and higher horse power not really for gains. SDS Vortech supercharger kit

, Ripp header, cams, double throttle body (holley) upgraded manifold kit, 3" piping catback etc... is what brings alot of that extra air for horsepower that just adds to the 210 horses that was already on the platform. Gutting out the car helps but that's not what gives it all the horses, but you can drop alot of extra weight. Where does 7000lbs come in

? The 3G can do 11's w/ street tires on a pair of Volks w/ this setup. I have hardly heard of 3G's running slicks on those boards but some do. Looks category well, i have heard loads of people talking about how schweet they look.
