Awesome!
The weight of the new tank and 3 gallons of oil (oil weighs appx 8 lbs per gal) will be appx 30 lbs?? As this is offset from center of vehicle, perhaps relocating the battery, or the enclosure for the cool suit system (if spec'd) could help balance this out?? Or, perhaps because the oil tank is over the "front axle" it won't matter as it relates to the "rear axle" and balancing out weight per corner of the car?? In my crazy math equation, deducting the weight of the air box removed and the addition of sheet metal you added (minor) could be included in the equation.
