If you have the stock Camaro wheels, you might shave 20 to 30 lbs. by going with
the Weld Draglite or Prostar wheels but on a 12 - 14 second car, that difference is
negligable. If, you start taking weight off, this is a good start. However, with just the pizza cutters and either M/T fronts or 195/65-15 or less tires, you may or may not
see 1 or 2 mph on a nice cool day. IMO...HTH
