2lbs lighter = about 5 horses. i will just wait and save up for a fidanza, 11lbs lighter = about 27.5 horses.

well, it's more like a butt dyno, you'll feel like you're going faster, and you will be given the prompt throttle response, but in reality, no actual hp gains that are significant . . . at least less wear on the crank, etc. ANd you'll be shifting all the time, since it'll rev like a motorbike. . .
