Then i added an 8 point rollcage 1 3/4 mild steel (80 - 125lbs)
Subframe connectors.. 2X3 in rec. tubing around (50 - 60lbs)
Removed all A/C system from vehicle...
Removed everything from behind the dash....
removed front and rear bumper supports
removed catback system
installed 9" in place of the stock 10 bolt...
installed weld prostars skinnies and 15 X 10's in the rear as well

after review i have found that i can make my car around 330lbs lighter..
WOW.... i will have to spend some money but damn.. it will fly.....
i had already gone from 12.4 to running 11.85 with weight reduction.. now i stepped up to the trex, will be getting a good clutch and tranny and will be atleast 250lbs lighter..
