Default Where would you go from here?

Planning to pick up a car this weekend. Going to use it mostly for terrorizing the streets on the weekends and taking it to the track as much as possible.

What I'd really like is for it to be really fast on motor, so I'll be looking to reduce as much weight as possible (it already has A/C fully pulled out, ABS pulled out, no rear seats, racing front seats, no front sway bar, etc.) I plan to switch out the ZR1's for some big/littles as soon as I can. Any recommendations would be appreciated, trying to pick up an X pipe setup for it as we speak.

Texas Speed 231/237 camshaft
LS6 ported oil pump
LS2 timing chain
Patriot High lift valve springs
ASP 25% underdrive pulley
Poly motor mounts
Hardened 7.4" pushrods
New valve seals
Stainless Longtube headers
ORY w/ spiral flows and cutout
P&P throttle body
MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs
LS6 intake
Fuel Rail covers
Tranny Cooler
4000 Stall converter
1.8" Lowering springs
BMR LCA relocation brackets
BMR LCAs
BMR adjustable phb
Spohn Torque Arm
Line Lock
ABS Delete kit
Cruise removed
AC removed
Front swaybar removed (still have it)
Evap removed

Thanks!

Oh, and I am putting a fiberglass SS hood on it, should be lighter then the factory hood. Really aiming to keep this car on a diet.

I'd look for some budget heads...or if you want to spend more and can afford it some good heads

maybe a used FAST setup after that

Check out thunder racing. They have some good Patriot Performance options for budget heads.

Gonna say it is. A 6 speed don't see stall on your parts list . 4.10s would help a lot . Heads and fast set up is an option ,can lighten it up some more by taking the crash foam outta the bumpers,I don't think I saw sfc on there your gonna want those . I think if you got a decent set of heads and I don't know how the suspensions is now but k member and stuff like that will help and cut a lil bit of weight off

so you're saying it already has these mods? if you are wanting to go fast, let me suggest:

th350
8" converter, min 4500 stall
vic jr
bigger cam specd to work with single plane
373 gears

i'd also look at replacing those lowering springs with something to offer a little more weight transfer, and possibly some adj shocks because a real converter/trans is going to hit HARD.
