It would be nice if that was easy to take weight out of.

I've seen the stock motor handle over 500 reliably, for a good period of time. You're probably not going to get to 400 without something bigger than a ct-26, even an upgraded one. It can be done, but you would need a very good choice of supporting mods, and great tuning to do it with the ct.
