Help me go low 10s then 9s!

You don't need 5 different setups, but making a 10 second pass is hard enough let alone clicking off a 9 second one. You don't even know what's going to break on you yet. I've struggled with vacuum lines for over a year now and finally just went with a vacuum block setup. I'm also going for 9's this year but with a/c, p/s radio etc. I decided to go with weight reduction instead of a new setup, carbon fiber doors, hood, hatch, fenders, seats, and whatever else I decide to make.

This does 2 things in my eyes, first it may be a little more expensive but these parts will never "break down." 2, less weight is so much easier on the drivetrain I figure it'll pay it self off in the long run.

x2 with the weight reduction, thats how i feel
 
Thinking about really pushing this motor with the mahles this summer, if she blows I've been talking to by builder (jpi racing) about a groden/wiseco 2.0 with a forged crank designed to rev to the moon, half inch head studs and a new intake manifold. Still planning with the hx40 on t3 but until then we will see how far the mahle and scat combo takes me this summer at the shootout. Cage should be built by me hopefully before summer starts pending material and obtaining argon in canada. I'm in school for welding techniques and have a good place to bend and cut my pipes :)
