Mine is 10-11lbs on the stock motor. I would not go more.

I don't drive it everyday since I have another car. But I drive it often. But I would not hesitate for a moment to drive it everyday if I had to. Drives like its completely stock. Doesn't get into boost during normal driving. Once I get two new rear tires. It will be back on the road weekly until winter. (I have Wilwood brakes. Don't want to mess them up with the winter salt)

Im running 8lbs for mine and its my daily/weekend If the wife and I don't go somewhere together. Personally wish i would have gone with the metco lower for 10-11lbs total and after my exhaust gets done that will be next.

I'm running 10-12 for boost. Wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere anytime if I had too.

I like to drive fast n occasionally will want to take it to the track, will the stock internals hold up well at 10-11lbs?

Going on two years of Eaton Swap mania. And I've beaten the piss out of mine. Still going strong.

On a 95+ degree day and damn near 100% humidity the day of my dyno. It put down 400rwhp and 410rwtq through stock exhaust, EGR etc etc. And that was on a dyno that's known to read on average about 10 percent lower than the other dynos in our surrounding areas.

Thanks. I was going for the factory look as much as possible.
My buddy Bob(Justbob) and I did the install.

How long was the initial install considering you had everything needed

I think it took us about three weeks. We didn't work on it everyday or night. Just took our time. Plus we were having such a good old time that some nights we would do more talking and giggling like two girls than work.
