On that note, the things id start with are lightweight wheels and tires, and a driveshaft.But if you dont need the interior, chop the whole thing out. You can even cut the dash up and just keep the gauges and that stuff you need. Is the car going to be driven on the street at all?

weight reduction is free so i have to disagree. plus if you add 10 horse on top of removing 100lbs, you are going that much faster....
i would work under the hood getting weight off of the nose. lightweight battery relocated, smaller coolant bottle, !washer & wiper system, fiberglass hood, !cruise, !abs, drag brakes if not street driven, tubular k and a arms, etc
