Default weight reduction?!

Koni adjustables save 2-3 lbs a piece and give you better traction for the hole shot

Cut the rear fenders off , remove the front fenders and bumper. The strut bar is unneeded for street ricing . You can also revome the back half of the interior , the stuff behind the seats. Then throw 15's and 100 pound NOS bottles in the trunk for traction and extra power. Once you do dis, let us know if you need to make it faster.
