Magnesium bellhousing -- yes or no

If you are trying to save weight, stick with the Kevlar over the Ballistic Nylon.....more $ for the Kevlar but I assume you are in it for weight savings since the bell is Mag.

Cool. I'll have to consider this and research some more.

Weight savings is nice but not a driving force over safety. If we didn't already have the mag bell, I'm not sure I'd go out and source one.

Thanks for the tip.

I completely agree, safety first! May wanna just shelf the mag and drop the necessary funds for a Quicktime?

I am not so sure a trans blanket is the correct application for the road course anyhow.....I am thinking the blanket will trap heat and raise tranny temps?

I think a good quality kevlar trans blanket may approach the cost of a new quicktime.

You have a SBC it's not like a steel skattershield for a SBC is hard hard part to find used at a good price. JMO I like things simple so I'd just go steel scattershield and not look back.

You ain't gonna beat me no matter what you weigh... might as well go and load up on excuses.

Save your money -- Susie is going to need it <for shoes>

Yeah that might be an issue huh. I'm looking into the Quicktime as well. Thanks.

True. I see them all over so that won't be an issue. It's always nice to just use what you have laying around.

Oh I see you have changed your stance from sandbagger to frontrunner.

She does love her some nice high dollar running shoes.

I'd go safety first, it's recreation. Legs are my primary concern and fire factor is the second.

Do you know the weights of the mag and Quicktime?

No scale at the shop but everything points to about 8 lbs for mag, 11 for aluminum and 20-24 for steel variations.

Here's a Tilton in steel @ 24 lbs.
