get a used CAI off ebay, cut out some weight, perhaps a pcm tune.
5/10ths is alot, $300 is a little.

I know this doesnt have anything to do with your thread, but how is the driveability of the Spec stage 4 clutch? Ive gone through 4 clutches in a little over a year and half and Im looking for something a little more permanent. The car is my daily driver which is why Im asking. Is the clutch basically engaged or disengaged or does it have some slippage?

From what I understand the stage IV drives exactly the same as the stage III. Considering that the disc is identical other than one is a sprung hub and the other is solid I would imagine it would be close. I will find out next week since my stage III disc is shot and im putting in a stage IV disc. Don't expect ALOT of miles out of it tho. I think I got 15-20,000 miles on my stage III and its slipping now. But atleast it will still drive when it slips. I think the IV will be very easy in day to day driving. My stage III was anyway. Hope this helps.

I bet that's a lot easier said than done. I can only think of enough stuff to remove that'll equal only about 100lbs. Have no idea where 400 more lbs would come from lol. Getting the CAI or making your own for around $35 bucks or so and trying to get nitrous is probably your best bet. Stickier tires if you can't get the DR's to hook. Some ET streets or maybe drags would cost about that much and allow higher rpm launches and could get you .2-.3 tenths atleast.
