hmmm.... so other than setup the extra speed would likely have to come from weight loss. Lots of little things you can trim that add up. Like the metal brackets the support under the hood, trunk latches, door skins, etc. You've likely done a lot of that already.

And the wiring harnesses to things no longer installed like the AC, radio, power locks, plastic valve cover instead of aluminum ( I THINK the bolt pattern matches but they don't seal as well.). RKE receiver module, entire wiper module, power window motors......

Ya computer and weight reduction (as far as staying legal) gutted the entire driver door to accommodate the cage but passenger skin has to stay... put 4 hood pins on the trunk and made it totally tear away as well as cutting out the entire trunk floor. Eventually we will go 100% and lose the last 2-3 pounds (hood hinges, extra wiring, misc interior metal) I think we already did a decant job for the class we are in took the dash out literally to the firewall just a steering column bolted to the cage. Also the last big thing I need is 13 inch wheels.. I am 1 of 3 1.9s running 14s and it shows.

My question to you is: will 13" wheels fit over your brakes? I raced a stock car 40 years ago you are bringing back fond memories with this thread.
Thanks

Everyone else runs them so they must lol... although just like everything on a racecar it wouldn't surprise me to find out there's a secret to the fit lol

Prob only one or two wheels have the right profile to fit. You might even be able to just sneak a peak at what tires others are running. If they have name brand wheels, that makes your life even easier. Or go through race pictures and zoom in on the wheels. Once you know the information you are good to go net hunting.
