In all seriousness...

-Advance ignition timing to 18 degrees (N/A)
-Take out all of the airbox piping in the bumper (below the actual airbox)
-Take out as much of your interior as you can (to save weight)
-Take out A/C and Power steering
-Deflate your tires to 20 psi (if you're drag racing)
-Unbolt your exhaust (if you're racing)

Thats all I can think of. Pretty pathetic I know.

Bump it up 2 degrees. I think stock for a Y8 is 12, so try 14.

advancing timing is good for immedaite throttle repsonse but you can lose peak horsepower from doing it as well.

take out your front bumper support, your bumper will become all wobbly but it takes like 20 pounds off.
