It sounds like you already pretty much know your answer. You will probably get about 20-30 horse overall to the wheels, but with the rotational mass being much lower, the car is going to clime the RPM range MUCH quicker.

This is the rout I'm going as well. It may not be a horsepower beast, but it'll still be quick
