Effects of vehicle weight on programming tables

Has anyone noticed any difference in the way their car runs after cutting weight from the vehicle? I have taken about 250 pounds off the car (while it is down for a rebuild) and wonder if my car will register less load in some of the tables and effect the way it runs. Am I wondering needlessly?

Thanks for any opinions and thoughts!

250 lbs. will definitely be noticeable.
WOT should stay really close to the same, but the transistional stuff will be different. Car light like the extra timing thou. Might have to pull some timing out quicker as you go to WOT.
