How much paint is on the body? Also, how much wire for the speedo/motor and what gauge? The tires make a difference as well. I think you are running a GTB? The GTB is a fairly heavy speedo and it has that huge cap. I dropped quite a bit of weight when I went to lighter electronics. Having said that, with a 1 cell set-up you might be able to lose the fan and heat sink off the GTB.
as far as balance: I am far, far from one of the experts, but if you are going to be fast you have to be balanced and at the minimum weight.
