If you're serious at all about it, gut it. Creature comforts be gone, oh did I mention LS1

LSD (limited slip differential) would help.

I think the only difference the spare tire and jack make is on the butt dyno. Cmon, is 15lbs really gonna make a difference? No, no it isnt.

from what i read for every 18lbs of eliminated weight you "gain" 1hp.

*sigh*

Stig will say this . . .1/8 mile, if you have a bad launch and two relatively equal cars, you're going to lose . . .the 1/4 mile is all about the first 60 feet . . .the 1/8 mile is all about who hooks up and gets going first.

If you're launching poorly, you're losing . . .

Do you plan to go boost?

An rb series motor would murder stock hondas in the 1/4...

If not, a header would help a ton, maybe a 50 shot?
