take off as many parts as you can. fenders, hood, seats, trunk mats, sway bars (front and rear) parts of the exhaust after the y pipe, shifter covers.

just removing the front fenders will net you about .3 in the 1/4 mile.

Supposedly it's an old drag racing trick for better weight transfer.
Maybe the veterans can explain or correct me if I am wrong.

Why waste all that time removing all those little parts when you can just remove the motor and tranny, that's major weight reduction right there!!!
