We did it about 2 years ago and have loved the results. I've posted a number of replies on this subject, and while I don't get into all the technicals too deep, I can tell you the hole shot is great and the gas mileage better. The weight differential is really negligible, and to be safe I moved the batteries to the center console. Take a look at our personal page. I don't think you will regret it for one moment. Good Luck!
