Weight reduction is a very important part of your strategy to go faster. It made a big difference with my car, and one of the reasons why my car 60’s better than most cars in my power level. As far as how much of a difference, it depends largely on how much power you already make. Higher horsepower cars will see less of a difference than lower power to weight cars.
I also think keeping the weight down makes drivetrain parts live longer.

Nice times! That is fast. As for weight, of course less helps, as mentioned 100lbs is about a tenth. That is one thing that kills my car, everything is made of steel, and I've added weight, and removed none. If you have easy weight you can remove, sure, but if you wanna go faster I'd just add more power.

Another possibility
I may have access to a universal kit a a 50-75-100hp shot for $700 has anyone else done this and how does these engines respond to the bottle as i have no experience in this area. On a other note i ordered my 225/50/15 micky thompson ET street R's today i will have them very soon.

Nitrous is a great way to make power if you are willing to take the time to learn how to use it and spend time developing the system so it is safe and reliable. I have used it on several platforms, and will continue to.
Whether its its right for you or not is hard to say. Nitrous has a tendency to attract those looking for easy fixes for a problem when in fact it takes serious commitment, and has major consequences if you are careless. Another thing to consider if you plan to compete is now you have multiple power adders. That’s not allowed in some classes, or may put you in a class that is very hard to compete in.
The price tag you see will balloon significantly when you factor in all supporting work to make it safe and reliable. It’s still a very affordable power adder though.
If if it were me, I would continue refining what you have until it is working very well, and if you have the resources and desire to go much faster, consider it than.
