Drag racers have a rule of thumb I've heard a few times. A 100lb loss is = to 10 hp gain on an average passenger automobile. Either one resulting in approximately a .1 sec improvement in a 1/4 mile run. 10lbs isn't very significant at all and would be roughly equivalent to 1 hp in terms of acceleration.
