I've done a decent amount of work to take the weight out.

Heres the list: glass hood, Welds, aluminum heads, racing seats, no rear seat, no spare/jack, no padding under carpet, no foglights/brackets, no emissions equipment, no sway bars, no padding behind the interior panels, no tailpipes.

If you replaced those Pony wheels you would drop a ton of unsprung weight.

Dropping the weight makes a big difference. I run low 12's @ 112 on motor with 309 rwhp. Most full weight cars with my power trap around 107-108.

My car has got to weight less then the 3270 w/ me that it weighed at the track, I have all you have plus more, although I do have a 100# of weight with the roll bar. I was told the tracks scale may be off to have it re-weighed, guess I'll do that in the spring. Of course all this SFI saftey approved parts I have add some weight, the bell housing alone is 25-30lbs.
