It's a tad bit too late to get an HR. Why join em' when I beat em? 
272 whp, half tank+me 2980lbs
I have coils, Bushings, sways, arms, 4.08 gears, quaief, oil cooler and everything else you named on my Z, I don't need to daily it. Have a 2016 Camry for that
my Z's full bolt ons, tuned, Gears, gutted, buckets, caged, suspesnion, wheels/tires and corner balanced. It's a toy that gets driven/tracked when time allows

I love it!!!
If you're going for #2, you might as well stay for #1 - I got Nismo350z in my sights.
I had boost control issues the day I tuned and could only hold waste gate spring (12 pounds). The issue is fixed. The question is do I retune for ~$400 (which I'm not entirely happy with my tune to start) or do I rent a dyno for a day and do it myself($600)?
I believe my 320 lph fuel pump will hold me to 600hp and I think I can shed another 100 to 150lbs off the chassis (2700lb +/- range) ... 4.5lbs/whp

I am still full weight atm besides the lighter wheels, lighter clutch/flywheel, full exhaust and gutted trunk/hatch. so I'm guessing 3150 with a full tank, 3360 with me in it. Only shooting for 540+whp but we will c...
Don't mean to derail the thread, ill just sub to yours and post my dyno results and weigh scale once I get back stateside.

it's how far you want to take it...I decided back in the day to go fn nuts...I'm at the point where I'm chasing single digit weight savings.
I think for sane-people you gotta get the big items and call it good...wheels, exhaust, seats, spare/jack, hatch(if you afford and/or mentally stomach a CF or a FG hatch).

minus my roll bar and bucket seats, gonna take off a couple more things that I don’t need (want to make it strictly track only)
and once I decide to go the built motor route, I’ll update with new mod list/whp
