how light can a C4 be?

Does anyone know how light can you make a 3,200. lb C4 for drag racing?
Using the stock frame and running gear and bare minimum body?

My racecar is 2970 with a full cage with nascar style door bars on both sides, ABS still installed and factory front and rear windshield, both doors gutted and CF hood. I also have eliminated the air cond and heater box.
