My guess is you could probably lose 400 grams from the
combo.
HOWEVER, this is going to be expensive unless you can do the work yourself.
It may be cheaper to order a new set of lightweight racing pistons from Ross.
If you are going for really light, a significant amount can be taken off of Carrillo or any H beam rod and still be within safe limits for 6000 rpm.
If this is going to be a really high performance engine you might also consider doing a bob weight balance job at 70% on it. Also consider dry sump oiling. It is good for 30 hp alone.

Thanks Pete for your input. I might just go the lightweight route from Ross. Will have to talk with them..again.
