I haven't done this with my Riv yet, but when I used to take my Eldo to the strip for a few runs I would put her on a strict diet. Your'e right, every pound makes a difference! Run with absolutely as little fuel in the tank as possible. I would also pull out the rear seat, passenger seat (if I had time), spare tire, and absolutley everything in the trunk, glove box, and console. I got her down to a best ET of 14.7 at 93mph, which I thought was pretty good for a big lead-sled like an Eldorado with 180K mi. on her!
