Getting ready for drag racing I have an lt1 93 a4 camaro and I want to use it for drag race only. first I'm thinking about taking of weight. what are the stuff that I can take of my car? then i'll be looking for a real agressive heads and cam package 
06-there is a ton of stuff you can take out if its just a drag car only. You can take out all the seats and console and put in a lightweight race seat, remove carpet noise deadner, all the a/c stuff under dash and a/c and smog equipment under hood.
That should get you started...you can save alot by replacing pars like lightweight fuel cell, fiberglass hood, replacing glass with lexan, etc. etc.
Good luck on your car.

I'd also get some skinnies on there to reduce the rotating mass which is more important than reducing weight by say putting a lighter weight hood on etc. And I'd highly consider getting a roll cage which will add weight but could possibly save your life and may be mandatory depending how fast you decide to make your car.

.....and dont forget the big rear end u have to replace the 7.5 10 bolt with.
If you don't have a ton of cash, in the latest GMTHP a guy with a 94 firebird chopped out his hood supports and the latch assembly and went with hood pins. Way cheaper than a fiberglass hood and more weight loss.
