There are a lot of things that you can do. Take off interior panels. Get lighter weight racing seats
There is a rule as far as weight goes, i'm not sure what it is, something like 500 pounds is worth a tenth of a second something like that. But as long as your car is losing weight take out anything you dont' need. and here is a big thing: Subs, amps, power caps. stuff like that doesn't belong in a drag car, if your are looking to improve your power to weight ratio, you'll have to leave 50 cent at the starting line. Good luck, hope this helps!

Re: What is weight reduction on car?

who said he is making drag car? and 500 will drop u by more than a tenth, but all depends on the % change in power/torque to weight ratios

Yeah there is NO specific rule for weight that gains you HP, Torque, time, or stuff like that. Weight is just weight...
