Going racing in a couple of weeks, weight reduction done lol

[Boss 351]

The interior is gutted except for the dash and two front seats lol

I removed the carpet, tar like insulation, all plastic rear panels, door panels, head liner (incl. insulations), console, radio, speakers, kick panels, everything Well okay I went to this extreme because I have to repair some floor boards but I will go racing with no interior anyway just for kicks. Other things removed for weight reduction: spare, jack, smog air pump...

I'm going to get the car weighed and I'm going to weigh everything I removed so I can make a real list.

I hope my car will run pretty good with all this weight removal and with the following mods: shorty headers, off-road X-pipe, dumps, electric fan, *MSD blaster coil (6AL not installed yet), *3:55 gears, *CAI, and I think that's it... Well my engine is burning oil like a bastard so it isn't very strong anymore.

*not installed now, but will be soon

I would do that, because its only going to be slower when you put everything back in it.

If you can hook and drive the car, and if you're engine isn't too tired, I see 12s in your future.

 

[Boss 351]

I doubt it... I would like to see mid 14's with this "setup" the 12's will be with my new setup... Oh and I forgot, I have a centerforce clutch and I know how to drive it

This is what I'm trying to get done...
Rebuilt 306, F303 cam, 1.6R.rockers, new heads (not 100% sure, I have AFR 165's, ported E7's, 289 HiPo, 69 351W heads to choose from), Edlebrock RPM intake, 65mm TB, 73mm MAF, 24lb injectors, custom tune...

Tubular K-member, connecting frames, weight reduction (no sound, no spare, no insulation, fiberglass hood and trunk lid), Boxed upper control arms, aftermarket lower control arms, aluminum driveshaft, Heavy duty T5 rebuild, short throw shifter. and whatever else I forgot... lol

lol no.

Youll probably be in the low 14's.

 

[Boss 351]

Hooking up is hard now... It's like my taillights want to beat the headlights in a race lol

I have 14" wheels 195's in the back until I find some decent used tires lol
