New car New times Now what

01 trans am ram air h/c 3600 stall 3.23 gears.

7.4 1/8th and 11.6 1/4 @ 116 mph with 1.69 60'

full weight (leather full power) and 17 rims minus floor mats and spare/jack

How much more can I drop without adding anymore hp bc i dont wont nitrous and dont have the cash for forced induction?

Btw im riding on stock suspension, I also im afraid to drop my 60' anymore bc of stock rearend.

This is what im thinking: skinnies, rear seat/seat belt delete, ttop delete, spare and jack delete.

What else is there to do?

thanks,

pride

Do lightweight wheels all the way around. The rear 15'' drag wheel tire combo can net you some et thru traction and less rotating mass.

If you don't feel bad about gutting your car, its free my car is 3150 with me in it. And Im 185lbs
Full carpet+rubber mat = -65lbs
back seat+spare tire+jack = -50lbs
front,rear sway bars = -35lbs
AC system = -60lbs
Passenger seat = -40lbs
Exhaust heat shield, brackets,
bolts,rear seat belts, winshield
washer reservior,ac condesor =-25lbs

Wallet mods
Oddesey lightweight battery $120 =-30lbs
Pro stars front runners used $200 =-50lbs
true duals dumped before axle $400 =-50lbs
K-member, upr lwr contol arms $1000 = -75lbs or more depending
I have done a little more than this.

All that equals about 400lbs = 4/10ths -4mph or equivalent to 40hp just from weight
Not to bad just for drop en pounds
My car feels very fast just on motor.

Your car will feel like it can pull the wheels because of the weight distribution.
