Help with weight reduction !!!!

[1Bad5.0]

Ok guys I need some tips on reducing weight on my car. I'm trying to get the car in the 10's NA and only bolt ons. What I have done so far is remove spare tire and jack, take out passenger seat for track day, removed front sway bar, ordered BMR K member, A arms, and radiator support....what am I missing ???

Thanks for any input

I generally get to the track with 1/8th tank of gas or less, and I pulled that rear seat today just to see what it weighs and it's 5lbs maybe....but it's weight

Ford Racing's rear cross brace from the Laguna Seca cuts 22 lbs. from the rear of the car. A Lithium Pros C680 cuts 27 lbs. off the front.

I've read multiple places that the rear seats are 40lbs or more if u have premium or special package.

Do you have race wheels and tires?

I have race stars for front and back and they're much lighter than factory 19s!

I have Darkstars with bigs and littles....I didn't pull the top part of the rear seats out, just the bottom cushion.

Almost forgot to mention a aluminum single piece driveshaft if you can afford it.

Less rotating mass, save weight and better ETs

Ahhh yeah , sorry forgot to mention I have that already

Lightweight btry

is there a lightweight battery that doesn't cost $400+ like the above mentioned Lithium Pros C680?

 

[BV600]

There was a thread not to long ago with one that was $200 and under that was pretty light

^ lmao
i ran a small oddyssey (pc680) battery in my honda and god did i hate that battery. i would cut weight elsewhere. If i didn't drive the car every 2 or 3 days, it would be dead. cold days, it would be dead. it struggle to crank the car up. It made compression tests read WAY lower than supposed to. I hated every bit of that small battery.

Another big weight reduction is Strange drag brakes. I ran them on the front of multiple cars and are good quality.

^ are those safe to drive on the streets?
