Many forget that having a light car can be bad, but it can also be good. There tons of things you can do to lighten your car without totally changing the feel of your car. Or if you lighten your car you can then add weight where you want it; like the rear of the car or the front of the car.
I really suggest the Protek lite battery I recently got, really lite and delivers tons of punch, almost all of my locals run it.

If you keep an eye on it, I know they usually have a really good Black Friday deal on Protek items.
