Default Weight questions

Car weighs 3526. If I remove front and rear bumper supports and spare tire what do you guys think it will drop to? And any other weight reduction suggestions are welcome. How much weight reduction do I need to do to notice a difference?

I think the rule of thumb is about 100lbs = 10hp = .1sec off your time. Here are some weights of f-body stuff http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/weights.htm.

Thanks for the link!

I've deleted AC and rear seats already. Next is bumper supports, carpet padding, and heater core.
