David,
I searched the SC forum and found a lot of posts with 'hood weight' info in them.
THis one seems to have most straightforward answer

Dry Carbon/Carbon Fiber/ FRP Hood
stock hood weight: 58.6lbs
dry carbon hood weight: 20.1lbs, saves 48.5lbs total (VERTEX)
carbon fiber weight: 22.9lbs, saves 35.7lbs (VARIS)
FRP hood weight: Unknown (VARIS)

Thanks Dave,
The 2UZFE Iron shortblock is about 82 lbs heavier then the 1UZFE shortblock. I was thinking by changing stock hood to CF hood will reduce some weight.
