Most of your HP gains on a N/A are going to come from lightweight parts. Flywheel, driveline, wheels. It doesn't actually "add" horsepower to the engine, but it does get more of the HP to the tires. Flywheel weighs about 15 lbs I believe, you can get 11 lb ones. Driveline I think will lose you another 5 lbs. Stock wheels weigh in at 23 lbs, so depending on wheels, you can lose alot of weight there too... The ones I'm looking at are 17 lbs, so 6 lbs per rear tire. Front tire weight loss is negligible for a horsepower gain, but can gain you cornering performance and braking performance.
