I race naked to improve my power to weight ratio. It also messes with my opponents concentration

When I am trying to get every last shred of advantage I pull out the entire AC system, The whole power steering system and cap the rack, I also gut the interior and just run two front seats. It's loud, it's hot and steering is a bit of a task but it works.

No No i once drove a old As# heavy truck with no power steering or brake booster and to top it off the brakes werent bleed . best day of my life . it took 2 people to turn it. me and another friend. it was fun but i crashed into a building not really a boom crash but hard enough to cause the wall to do the wave.because you really had to pump the brakes. All this happend at school . So really what is there.

then nothing. Basically you have two categories to work with;

Weight, lower the weight by replacing things with lighter parts or removing items altogether

Drag, remove drag on the motor like accesories such as power steering or AC pump.

beyond these things you have to increase power.

You can take the resonator of the air intake box, remove the AIV valve system, and remove the clutch dampener box.

if you remove the roof, won't that cause drag??
