Yea, ripping it all out will show the biggest increase in power. Although that increase will be nearly non-existant. And running a shorter belt WILL NOT make anything turn faster. The weight savings from removing everything will yeild about a .03 second improvement on the 1/4 mile. To get the same awsome power boost, clean out the hatch and cut the wire going to the a/c compressor. That way you save a lot of time and $20 you would pay for a new belt.
