I think he wants to do it N/A, Spraying into 10's is too easy at the ET he's at.
I didn't know you had everything removed under the hood like that, lol. That thing IS pretty light.
!headliner
!visors
!console
!passenger seat
drill out every stupid bracket in the interior, there will be like 4-5lbs worth
grab the sawsall and have at those inner fenders
!door bars
!E brake
shallow stage
get the front tires rock hard
adjust your launch rpm for 3 consectutive runs and pay close attention to the 60ft. You may be surprised at what your car is happiest with.
For $$$$ stuff
ditch the cat-back and run some flowmasters off of each pipe. Flowmasters work extremely well in a blow-through system (not a transverse design like stock f-bod). They are light and relatively cheap. Car will pick up a few top-end ponies and shave about 20lbs easy.
Plastic racing seats. Will save 35lbs on the driver side
I'm sure a smooth elbow might free up 2-3 ponies but.........
I would run some sort of ram air setup ditching the foglights. It will add power up top, especially over 50mph. Mine can be duplicated for about 20bucks.
Here is mine:
The rubber piece between the TB and maf is from Lowe's in the pvc section. It is made by fernco, it is like $7,00 or something. The chrome piece is by spectre but you can run dryer tubing which is flexible and will get the job done. After mine goes under the rad support there is a Y piece and then dryer tubing through each of the fog light holes. Tiny filter attached to the Y, but you can run without them at the track. You can honestly make a similarly effective setup for about $20.

This kinda mild tune was set to shift at 6400 to test it out. Im already running better than a tenth faster than the 503 can that was shifted at 6800. I'll tune it down to 10.80s this year in the heat 
While it's torn down that far....is there any way you could try your alternator mount on the driver's side? Or just look and see if you think it would fit if you just flipped it around. I would really appreciate it, but you will probably be past that by the time you read this.
