Default Cheap easy mods for the spring :)

Well with the new house etc I think I am relagated to cheap easy go fast mods for a little while <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Here is the plan <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
dynabatt: 20 pounds
pin on VFN hood: 35 pounds
front bumper support: 20 pounds
foglights: 3 pounds
Cruise Control: 5-6 pounds?
2/3rds of the carpet (removable at track only): 30 pounds
front and rear pass seat (track only) 51 pounds
Centerline Rims and 26x9 inch Hoosier slicks: 30 pounds
total: 194 pounds out of the car
That with the ASP crank and UD pullies and some more tuning should net about 2.5-3.5mph over my old setup.
Anything else easy I am missing? I already have AC, jack and spare out etc.
Going to install a cutout as well for track only and do a full wideband session at ARE to pick up a few lost ponies. I am also going to throw back on my offroad Ypipe as well. That should pick up a bit too.
Cheers,
Chris
