@SuperTom

Ok I’ll check that cutter out. Any tender from harbor freight work? Can just keep oem battery or shorai battery plugged in 24/7 until ready to use with no issue?

Nice! weight loss is getting crazy. Def not going as extreme as you, but should be at about -85lbs after battery. Maybe -90lbs with fan havnt officially calculated it yet.

After I install mods I have now, prob get the jdm under panels and transmission tunnel cover might add 5lbs but make the underside look real clean and add some good aero. Then I think I can justify a CF DSS to push me over -100lbs weight loss.

You gotten dynoed yet? Or done any 0-60 1/4mile or any other tests? Would
Be interested to see what your running with that much weight loss. -300lbs should be roughly 20whp equivalent.
