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.
I am also doing a couple of these but my main loss of cash will be the 3.4 Titan race block..... Don't even look up the price it's sure to make u pass out, I did.... Lol.
