It’s actually not THAT hard to do, if you are willing to sacrifice some safety related items. No point in needing 18lbs worth of door bars, when you are getting a rollcage, etc.You only need to spend money on a few key items to replace stock stuff (k-member, wheels, brakes). Dan, you need to hit up LS1tech. There are tons of threads dedicated to weight loss. Most is geared towards 4th gens, but some 3rd gen stuff applies. 700hp in a 3000lb f-bod will drag the bumper for a few hundred feet.

i left all my saftey shit in. and am leaving it in.  
also my car will not look like a gutted POS.  
like some of the botched up cars ive seen.

also. non saftey bolts/nuts

im going from grade 5 steel to grade 8 billet etc.

little things add up.

my car at less 2800 with a full chromoly cage will be easy. cause its already there 😉
