I'm not sure how much weight it saves over cast iron, but I do like that it has mid rise runners. I feel it gives a bit more low end pull.

I'm not a purist by any means, but I have reservations about certain mods. I do not like a cut up dash and refuse to do so if possible.
Wait to you see how I am mounting the KMC20 controller. I was able to come up with a method that doesn't require cutting the dash or the stock bezel.
