If you don't already have it, aluminum radiator, aftermarket front disc brakes.

lighter battery? can switch to a braille, could save 20lbs there over an optima for example. Wildwoods will help out a lot for sure. do you still run the stock master cylinder? We just installed the mopar style master cylinder, not a huge weight saver but every little bit helps.

Do any of the aftermarket sub frames weigh substantially less than factory piece?
Are these prime pieces for the acid tank without sacrificing strength?

I think a lot of the aftermarket pieces are lighter, bumpers, fenders, etc. Unfortunately, I think the how much weight you want to lose is equivalent to "how much money do you want to spend".

You don't need to ad 310, you need to move 75-100 to get where you want, maybe even less if its in the right spots
