Well it is only 50 lbs heavier its really not that bad most turbo kits add more weight than the vk. the one thats going in my 260z is down to around 420lbs assembled. its definitely more cost wise than the ls. the toyota lexus v8s are much heavier also. the vk56 actually weighs less than the vk45. also remember the vq37 is about 40-50lbs heavier than the vq35hr.

edit: the 420lbs on my motor includes the vortech supercharger and brackets

(i get the weight for the 1uz at 480lbs full dress)
