Default Has anyone removed the dead weight from the front?

I had posted this once last year and no one had an answer. Has anyone removed the 25-30lb weight block from the front of the roadster and run without it. I know you need to do this to install certain FI systems, but has anyone in an NA ZR, tried running without this extra weight. Seems like it's there for some kind of ballast or balancing purpose that is specific to the roadster since the coupe does not have this weight block.

It is a weight to compensate for the extra weight of the vert. It was taken off to install my SC (but my sc probably weighs 30 pounds).

I don't think it would do much if you took it off or left it on.

Bubble, that is a great looking front you have. What is it?

It would like even better with a huge silver intercooler behind it.
