Anybody running the RMS AlterKation? Was it really worth the cost?

This fall when I get back from Drag Week I will put a stock front end and an RMS on the digital scale in the shop. I will include a stock manual box,a stock power box and a borgeson box and give the weight of each.
My guess is the the RMS will be at least 50lbs lighter than a factory setup...

Alright, time to do some math. Denny already weighed a bunch of this stuff. Here's his post, click to expand. Or to see the original go here Weight comparo: HDK vs Stock

HDK vs. Stock K-frame weight comparison

All measurements taken with a new digital scale

stock K -frame assembly w/manual box and steering linkage ..................................60.8 lbs
stock A arms without lower ball joint/steering arm...............................................38.2 lbs
stock torsion bars and front shocks..................................................................19.4 lbs

stock total.................................................................................................118.4 lbs

HDK K-frame assembly w/manual rack (includes steering linkage)............................47.6 lbs
HDK control arms, upper shock mount, chromoly support hoop and hardware.............25.8 lbs
Alden Eagle coilovers/ #654 (pair) complete assemblies w/ 450 lb springs.................15.1 lbs

HDK total............................. ......................................................................88.5 lbs

..............................DIFFERENCE...29.9 LBS

*weights do not include the lower ball joint and spindles.

**for a fair comparison I weighed the stock and HDK lower control arms w/ sway bar mounts.

The HDK K-frame has sway bar mounts, but the stock assy did not.
