Why did the ZR-1 have to be heavier?

I think there are enough ZR-1s around not to make it a sin. Besides everything would probably be reversible anyway.

But what would be your guess of how many lbs it would shave if all you suggested above was done? Thanks.

The video - no biggie, it just features a video showing my stock idle ~ 510 hp LT5. Smooth, no dual mass knock or trans rattle (single mass aluminum FW + sprung hub disc).

This can be complicated
I would have to say my C4. Okay let me explain. I have a C6, a shelby cobra, a Z28. I love my C4. I don't get or care when people talk them down.

This is the achiles heel of DOHC V8s. All else being equal, they breathe better but they are larger and heavier than a comparable cam-in-block engine of the same displacement.
The LT5 is actually small for 5.7L DOHC. Take a look at the modern Ford motors, they displace less than an LT5 and are physically larger than a BBC. The SBC was ancient when the LT5 came on the scene, but look what GM was able to do with the LS series. Lighter smaller and a ton of power compared to the competition.
