1. Unsprung weight is your enemy. Lighter wheels, smaller brakes. Remove rear seat/seat belts. Carbon fiber hood and trunk lid.

Then.

2. Lexan windows. Remove windshield wipers/windshield cleaner bottle /any associated pumps. Remove front seats for race buckets.

Depending on how low you want to go:

3. Remove dash and replace with Aluminum, with gauges. No passegner seat.

4. All aluminum short block/heads.

Thats the short list.. You could always swiss cheese the frame for a weight savings/true retro feel...:rofl:

 

Excellent. Thank you for the reply!

 

I posted a thread recently on this subject, and dodgetony has a bunch of good advice (and actual numbers) in another thread.

 

I coudlnt find what you're referring to, could you help me out please?

Thanks in advance:bigthumb:

Also, Should I just buy the 17" M&H & drag radials for the rear tires? Anyone know of anything that work better? Wheres the cheapest place to buy these? What your favorite drag radials? Thanks again.

 

I thought the engine and heads were already aluminum.

 

Engine block no, heads yes. Valve covers & intake are "plastic" on the R/T.

 

Resonators are good for about 50 lbs and sounds great without them. Siebon carbon fiber hood & Trunk will help a bit, maybe 40 lbs and the fit and finish is great. Especially if your car is black.
