I would either use a M/T or Hoosier drag radial, you can remove the front and rear bumpers, thats 40 pounds right there. FRONT IS OUT
Remove the passenger and rear seat when you go to the track thats like another 50 or so pounds. REAR SEATS ARE OUT, TAKING THE PASSENGER SEAT OUT IS CHEATING
Go on a diet thats 10-20 pounds lol. GOTTA PICK ON THE FATBOY HE HE
a/c and all the heater crap and ducting is a lot.A?C COMPRESSOR LINES AND CONDENSER ARE OFF
The strange front brakes drop 50 pounds off the front and you can run 15's without a spacer. NOT!
k-member and a arms around 35 pounds less. HAVE A FRONT K MEMBER
2 1/2" springs vs stock size springs. HAVE HALS UP FRONT WITH COILOVER SPRINGS

What driveshaft are you running? I am in the same boat as you except I swapped to a tighter converter and slowed down to 11.30's now. Except when I turn the n2o on next time out, I should skip the over the 10's. LOL

I weighed the car on 4 corner scales, this is with a full tank of fuel and 15 psi in the right rear airbag.
No driver
LF RF
992 881
LR RR
743 854
With driver
LF RF
1099 913
LR RR
880 900
Thoughts?
Bryan, BTW, I have BFG 325/50 drag radials, can I rotate them side to side? There is no rotation arrow on the tire.

What's weird was I scaled my old nova on 4 corners and when I got in the car the weight only changed left to right 5 pounds.
