    Weight of cases

    Lots of opinions Mag V Alum cases. Does anybody know the difference in actual weight savings of a 2.7 Mag v 2.7 Alum case? How about the 915 Mag v 915 Alum case weights?

    Thanks in advance!

    All of the sources I have read spec the Magnesium engine case as 10 kilograms (22 pounds) lighter than the Aluminum version.
