What was your personal best so far? I don't know if removing weight will be enough if your high 13's now. The old rule of thumb is every 100 lbs is equal to 1/10th in ET. But if your close to the 12's already, then yes remove all dead weight.
What are your 60ft times? With those gears and hot sticky tires, I think you'd be in the 12's already. How's your "driver mod" ?

Removing enough weight to matter isn't exactly easy... I would just run it as it sits and see how close you are. Unless you are hitting 13.0x and want a 12.9x I wouldn't worry about the little bit of weight you can pull out of the car easily. That's just my .02

The car with the mods it currently has is capable of running 12s, but maybe not the first time out if you've never ran that particular car at the strip.
Hot tires, relatively high launch, with a good clutch slip, bang the gears and it should get you there in the 103-105 mph range.
