you can remove your strut tower brace and throw it in your trunk with a few bags of sand for a little more weight over the tires

Also battery relocation is a good way to relocate some front end weight. Even though your battery and everything may only weight about 35 lbs keep in mind it sits in the very front of your engine bay creating a lever and taking weight off the wheels that get the power. Its only about 70 bucks to get all the stuff to relocate your batt to the trunk.

Those 17" tires and wheels aren't helpin ya. I swapped my 17's for a set of welds and took about 4 tenths off my et and 2 tenths of my 60'. Full tank of gas is killing you too. I run w/ less than a 1/4 tank.

How much power are you making. Sticky tires would be a great help as well.

Yeah, I thought so too. But my car makes decent power. That will also affect those #'s as well. I mean, if he's stock, he won't see that drastic of a change. Those 17" rims are heavy as hell!! I keep tryin to tell my wife that but she won't give up the ones on her car.
