Since I got my 680 AED Double Pumper.... Performance is definitely UP!
When the secondary kicks in.... WOW!!!
FUEL ECONOMY what is that??? I am running a th350 with non locking stall...
One day I will move up to a 200R4...with lockup and 3300 stall. I guess I will keep my 3.23 gear then... then again... 3.73 would be really NICE!

Weight saving... YES! MY front end sat up about 2 inches...
I think it is a little more than 150lbs difference...I had to cut 1.5 coils out...
Hell my father and I lifted the LS1 motor into the back of his Chevy truck. IT was heavy but we could do it without a cherry picker.
Handling... well... NO because I have skinney tires on the front. No curves for me. I like to cruise and go in a striaght line.
Curves (autocrossing) is for my SLP SS M6 Camaro
