Starts to get more complicated from there though. 25 pounds for front brakes, maybe 40 pounds for wheels...$$$. @Anthony has done all the legwork already though.

Element Tuning is over 9000rpm on their turbo motor so it's certainly doable.
Guess that doesn't sound too terrible. Hmm wonder how much power you could get out of NA. What else would you have to do? Exhaust, intake maybe ITB? Rework the heads? Increase valve springs? Tuning. Forged internals. Can't forget those. Haha
