I agree, less weight is easier on the drivetrain as a whole...engine and tranny, but i'm sure you can get there without too much weight removal from inside the car. Have you considered the new lexan direct replacement windshield and back "glass" from Percys? 56lbs there alone, coupled with tubular front end components @34 lbs (BMR), no door bars, no rear bumper @ 21lbs, pin on hood..and you are already 111lb's lighter. ABS, Airbags and are all fair game. A/C meh its for the girlies, T tops for that, but heat is nice early in the season and late into the season. Pin on hood?
That'll save a fair amount of weight without digging into the interior too much.
Weight removal is needed with these cars, with a focus on removal of that weight over the front tires when adding a bolt on like a S/C kit or turbo set up as all of us know, but that is a beautiful car to boot![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
As always, you are the man Kev and this is just my opinion.

I'm not going to take anything out of the inside, will still have stock seats/carpet etc. You cant see the heater box not being there

My old car was down to 3250lbs at one point and still had power steering/brakes etc so I am pretty good at losing weight. With the lighter rear end and only a 6 pt I wont need to do lexan or pin on hood. My old car had a full interior except the back seats, stock hood and no sheetmeteal was cut out anywhere.
This doesnt look too 'gutted' does it?

Since its a 2000 I'll finally be able to play with one of the EFI live custom operating systems with a 2-3 bar SD tune. But I did run 9.40s with the 98 PCM and a hacked stock tune so either will work.
Well thats the plan anyhow

This one will keep the stock seats (front and rear) and carpet, I'm pretty sure I can get it down to 3450 or so raceweight (I'm 225) and at that weight and not shifting higher than 6700rpm with the 3.7 pulley that should be good for 9.60s in good weather and 10.0s in the heat. Should be able to easily get a couple years out of the shortblock and no head gasket issues as well.

I'll leave it as-is at first to make sure the new engine starts/runs first and then switch. You wouldnt happen to have a COS file would you, until I actually rewrite the PCM to a 2002 OS and flash a COS cal into it I cant even see the tables.

Few more pics, not much left lol. Little more clean up underneath, pull the engine/k-member and I can start bolting some shiny new parts on. Takes a while to clean up under the car, seems like a lot of work to scrub it underneath but I'll be spending a lot of time under there the next month or so and its sure nice not getting dirty every time you touch something..

I should have one on a pin drive that I can email you. Sad thing is I lost a ton of data/tunes/etc when my laptop crashed....only used it for tuning...never on the net...back up??? What's back up?......I did keep some on a pin drive though...I'll get it to you.

I ran the 98 PCM for two years with the MAF and using PE for the boost fueling, its not the best but it works, not much of a choice there with a 98 so its nice to have a 99+ to play with.
