You have lighter than stock seats and exhaust.

My car ia an '11 DCT comp loaded, and is barely over 3600 w a tip top full tank. I should be around 3540 with a 1/4 tank of fuel.

The harness bar can't amount to much, so how much does the blower add?
VF supercharger kit is ~90lbs.

I agree with you on the weights, even the BBK shaved 10lbs off stock. Savings was made up installing the KWs however (added 10lb).

The Recaros shave about 100lb off total weight, and VS harness bar brings back about 70lb. (chromoly). At this point, the most significant savings are from the Akrapovic and Volks.
