Weight reduction kit = getting some wrenches and taking a lot of crap out of your car...

That's the only way you're really going to make a difference. Swapping out for lighter parts can become very costly.

Removing 100 lbs. usually = a one tenth of a second reduction in ET

I pulled it as I am on AAA.

It's not one thing you do. It's a combination of things.

If there is something in the car that you do not use, pull it. If you buy things for the car, take weight into consideration (like going with chromemoly steel vs mild steel, or going with a billet steel flywheel instead of stock.)
