Default Weight Reduction (postwhore)

but I need to know what is best weight reduction wise?


I just removed spare tire and jack and swaybar... those are the only ones I can really think of.. anything else? air pump I heard weighs 16oz... I shit that much... so its not worth buying a new belt

Back seat and seatbelt assemblies are around 25 lbs. Empty that HUGE winshield washer resevoir? Also, check out LS1Tech, the Drag racing Tech forum has a weight reduction sticky that lists about everything you can remove, along with weight savings.
