Well yeah, losing weight and shaving a few 1/10s of a second will be important, but yeah, not until you take care of other things. Pretty much everything you'd do to make a high performance engine. Exhaust, intake, cam, stroke it, headwork, ect.. Then ditch the sorry stock trans. You need different gearing in the rear diff too, and i guess the front to match or however that works. I believe it is 3.55 stock and thats fine and dandy for regular driving, but you need something in the high 4's maybe. I think the all time 4x4 will slow you down and if you're lowering it and using it for drag races, you don't really have any use for 4x4. 19" rims no, stick with 16/17" but go for aluminum to save weight.
Now back to the weight. That depends on how comfortable you want to be whist blasting down the 1/4 mile. Losing the AC system will lighten it, gutting interior, heck, who needs power windows and locks either. Pretty much take off whatever you dont find necessary to you or the performance of the truck.
