Smile Weight Reduction and weight distribution!

Guys, I need your help trying to lighten my Z. In the process, I want to be as close to 50/50 weight distribution as possible..I am getting a lot of things like lightweight seats, Braille battery (not sure about relocating to the rear), lightweight pulley, lightweight flywheel, stillen intake, stillen cats, stillen catback exhaust, stillen sways, KW variant 3 coilovers, stillen oil cooler, nitto invo tires, michelin a/s plus tires. However all these things aren't really influencing my weight in a good way except the battery and lightweight stuff...

Do you guys have any more ideas for lightening?? Specifically on the engine and front area??

Thanks..

They did shave off an entire 2 seconds though. That would put the z in the 11s
