loosing weight

[95Stang50]

alright well im finally going to make it to the track for the first time this season with the new suspension set up and tires and other junk. well my best so far last season was a 14.5 @97 with F1's. now i have Dr's. so i know that will help me. but what i want to know is what can i do to loose as much weight as possible. i already plan on taking out the back seat, all the trunk crap, spare, and pulling the front sway. is there more i can take off?

also would i notice a difference if i ran a smaller belt to just run the alt, waterpump, and crank? if so does any one know what size i would need to get?

Why pull the front sway? And weight reduction is good but don't you want some weight over the back still.. for traction's sake? I duno, still haven't ran mine on the track =\
Perhaps you should drive naked?

1. the front sway weighs a good amount and 2. by pulling it, it allows the front end to lift a bit more a the launch therefore transfering more weight to the rear. im too worried about traction cause i have the tires and rear suspension and its going to a test and tune day so the track is going to nicely prepped. so i just want to make my car as light as i can with out going crazy.

If you can get your hand on two spare rims put those in the front they are lighter than stock rims.

well im going to be running my 03 cobras all around that i have on the car. and would they let me run spare tires in on the car to go down the track? cause if they would i could do it.

You can as long as you don't use the spare tire that comes with them that's a no no. You have to get some cheap tires up front. Here at Mororso they let them it's just a rim it's the tires their concerned about.
