Carbon plate... weight loss... carbs.... sounds like some sort of Atkins diet to me.

Can you weigh the OEM part? I am certain the carbon copy is very light. Knowing the weight of the steel version will give me an idea of what can be saved. Cost, of course, is the other factor for me (don't mean to go on repeating myself...)

thanks.

In a world of unlimited funds, I would buy some but for now, I'll use that money for some of those neat, "unproven" billet velocity stacks I have been reading about instead....

no carbon, we're going billet. It is obvious from the prints that the stacks are finely designed parts and only a CNC can be trusted to reproduce them accurately (as an added benefit, much cheaper too)
