I say leave the sway on, its better to have control then to save a puny 14 lbs. Hell your better off buying an aluminum driveshaft off of ebay for about 100 bucks ( make sure its 3rd gen alumi, theyre diameter is amaller then 4th gen) youll shave some rotating mass. Also look for a crappy fiberglass hodd to put on when you go to the races, that way you can shave top end weight off, yet not worry about it spider crackign and stuff, and when your done, pop the other hood back on. Dont forget to loose the passenger seat too, theres a couple pounds too. and lastely, if you have the Iroc rims on there, see if the stock star rims on about 90% of what all 86-92 camaros had are lighter then the ones you have now and if theyre a smaller diameter as well. To be honest, i dont do much drag, but i noticed that rotation weight (I.E drive shaft, rims and tires, etc.) seems to be more of a problem then stagnet weight (I.E. seats, spares, up unto abou the first hundres pounds taken off) Whatever you do, dont take off suspension parts cause, well, theyre important lol.
