RE: HELP! with weight reduction...
It depends on whether you are dedicating the car to strip use only or not. If so, then there is a lot you can do. If you looking to reduce weight, but still drive it, then an aluminum block would help. Expensive, but light. Tubular control arms with the K member and coil-overs, and an aluminum radiator.
You're limited for the daily driver, but for the track, you can quickly shed weight and $ at a disproportionate rate.
