New rotors n all that. You're looking at removing 250lbs... you can get maybe 60 lbs off the engine with titanium exhaust n downpipes plus and silicone tubing. The rest is stripping the car itself.

Is silicone tubing actually worth it? Any Idea what to expect? Maybe 1-2lbs if it was all done?

Engine pulleys
Aluminum rad
Battery
Two piece rotors
Gramlights
Bride seats or the like
Any other major savers, like 10-20lbs +

Cannot be done as many leagues require a certain percent of the interior to remain along with the fact that if you start ripping certain dash pieces out then you now need to fab up a place to mount certain controls which are still needed.

OP, you are on the right track, start with the major items and see where it gets you, there are not many 20+ weight items to remove, it will be the little things that add up.
