latest lightweight blower starter

[noiraude]

hi all!
i'm making the switch from a funnycar to a door car and realize that the weight of my blower starter (roughly 36 lbs)might become an issue to my crew guy starting the motor as he'll have to bend over the hood of the car a lot to reach for the blower(car is a C5 vette pro mod from 1997 so it is wide and low...)
what is the lightest blower starter on the market today?
thanks in advance for input

As far as I know RCD Engineering is the only company that makes these starters so check with them. As far as I know this is their newest and lightest starter

I just put me old RCD starter on the scale and it is 37.5 lbs and RBS superchargers list a new one at 40 lbs.

So the new and old models are pretty close

thanks for input!
seems like my old stuff is lighter than the latest,and it is all steel.go figure...
maybe i should just make it a dual handle and have a crew member on each side of the car to remove the blower?
