I would recommend lightening your rotating mass as much as possible. This will allow the car to spool up faster allowing to accelerate better. Also, try and remove as much as weight as possible, pivot balls, tie rods, screws, etc. When the weight of the car is below the legal limit then you can focus on adding weight back to the car. Try to centralize this added weight under your battery. You can also, try to have a battery tray made out of a heavy material putting this weight in this location will help CG of the car. Be creative!
Hope this helps

Robert , you will get a kit out of this , I just TQed the Mugen Grand Prix in Vegas and my car is 1815 , LOL . Obserd HUH. I know a lighter car is better for acceleration but it was handling so good I did not want to touch it. The Novarossi 353 was pulling it just fine.

I've been using APP and very happy with it, but soon i would replace them

I have been using those brake pads for the past 4 months. They work great. Tons of braking power, no fade and very little wear. Overall I have been very happy with them.

that's helpful. Will try together with VZW015 Special Rotor
I have started to rebuild the clutch
I was reading Josh Cyrul tips for Clutch tuning and I decided to try it on my car.
First I set the clutch gap in 0.5mm without inner bearing, I could accurately measure with Kyosho Remover Pinion tool. Then I shimmed end-play with 0.11mm of shims to avoid bell to get on the clutch shoes. Did I make it correct? What's my endplay now, 0.11mm?
I fired the car and everthing seemed to work normal
