Thats right- the 8 cell shed a full 12 pounds off Eric's car. At $160, the only cheaper weight savings available is sit ups
Video below shows the first start on this engine since it was put in the car. Battery was fresh out of the package.
This is the smallest I can recommended for a 1200 engine, and assumes your charging system is in good working order. Those who would rather trade another pound for some additional capacity should consider my 12cell.
