I believe somebody already mentioned the battery... I replaced my stock battery with an Odyssey PC680MJ for $80 and saved 22lbs.

You may also consider some drivetrain upgrades such as LSD and clutch/flywheel. They won't help you gain power, but will be a lot more noticeable in day to day driving as well as help you put power down to the ground

Make sure you specify "MJ" for metal jacket at the end of the part number for automotive use. I use the PC680MJ and it's a direct replacement, just needs a small block of 2x4 wood on top to make up for the height difference since the stock battery is taller. I'll snap some pics soon.

Not to sound too much like a n00b, but what would be the effect of a LSD on the handling of the car? From what I can understand, would it not create understeer when accelerating in a curve?
