Well, it depends alot on the launch. If you get rid of all the stuff, and run less gas, that should be at least 100 lbs less (about 40lbs less gas, 50 lbs less from tools/spare, and more weight from the books, junk, and speakers/subs). That alone should give you a tenth or so. With the rear shocks and the blown fronts as well, you could shave 3/10ths off that 1/8th mile time (just a rough guess, I think you should be able to run a 10.7 instead of a 11.0)

You'd probably want the 16's even if they are a bit heavier just so you you get a higher sidewall that isn't soo stiff. that will help you get better traction off the line. Your low profile tires probably are Z rated with steel sidewall inserts, not really good for drag racing.

And, here's the reason for using blown front shocks. They will let the tire hook up better, for more traction. A RWD car would want a stiffer front end and a softer rear end to help the weight transfer to the rear wheels, we'd want the opposite to help prevent the weight from transferring off the front wheels.

I have AGX adjustables, I set the rears to full stiff and the fronts to full soft, and it works for me.
