Weight reduction question....

I am in the middle of doing PA K-Member/A-Arms, Fiberglass hood, !A/C, !AIR, !EGR, ! Front and Rear Bumper supports, Dynabat, Ghetto !Power Steering, !Pass seat, etc. My question is this, does weight reduction give you the same SOTP feel that added HP would give? I would asume so, because if your car is two tenths faster due to losing 200 lbs, then it will FEEL two tenths faster, right???????????????
