The following work is complete by my mechanic:

Replaced front torsion bars 22mm
Replaced rear torsion bars 30mm
Replaced spring plates with adjustible spring plates and installed poly bronze bushings.

Set height, corner balance and align. Height 25 1/2 at front fender lip and 25" at rear fender lip.

Weights:

562 545
926 898

for a grand total weight of 2931 lbs without driver and tank 3/4 full
includes porsche air pump/tire, etc... Nothing left out. Stock as you would buy at the dealership except for the LS1.

My initial weighing when I started this build was flawed. I used a truck scale and now found that it was way off. It was used to weigh commercial trucks. My car barely tipped the scale. The build with the 350 hp ls1 showed to be about the same weight. No gain - no loss - radiator on a steel rear lid turbo wing. Not bad.
