It's not as huge of a difference on the truck like the buggy.
I never had all of the lightened stuff on my truck at the same time. Just pieces added here and there. Maybe that's why I couldn't tell. There are so many variables...new clutch, tune , tires , track conditions. I think that if the OP really wants to see the difference, he has to try it all in one day and changing out all those outdrives at the track is probably the biggest challenge. It could be done, but I wouldn't want to.

To the OP: Frank may have a point here. If you install all the lightened parts at once, you would probably notice.
