There's alot that you can do without taking the heat out. My car last year was 3700 with me in it, about a 1/3 tank of gas... same amount of fuel this year it's 3580. Granted that's not a TON, but I stil have the bumper supports in, a single leather seat ( soon 2 alum racing seats ) and most of the ammenities. I have to ad about 70 lbs at a min.. I will at leat be putting a 6 pt in the car over the winter... and I think ther's about another 50 lbs that will come out before I start buing LW parts... with all the LW stuff I want to buy, I think another 200 lbs of reduction are possible.. but I won't get it all done this year.

PJ, you're making me think about spraying my motor. I figure a 150 shot and some 30" tires should get me well into the 9's. I was going to build a bigger motor but just can't afford it right now. My motor is built to handle a 300 shot, don't wanna push that hard but I am thinking about the 150. I have the winter to mull it over.

PJ,
You don't have to go nuts with the weight reduction. I still have my heat and sterio.
You can get the light weight seats, take out the back seats, K-Member and A-Arms, and if want you can pull the interior. I put mine back in when im not racing. The car is totaly together in the summer when i just use it to cruise around to the beach and stuff. Takes me about 2 or 3 hours to get it in race form.
