Cut rotational mass.

Then unsprung weight, then any extra weight.

I'm currently even looking into doing an electric water pump, controller and thermostat delete on my Supra which should be apparently good for 10-15 wheel HP at high rpm.
LOL I almost did that... but Impreza is my dd car, so thought it's good idea to keep em.
