I would like to make my current engine a backup, it was originally built in the late 90s. It has top dollar components but they are heavy, 820 gram rods and 570 gram pistons that were lightened. I think I can get at least 150 grams off the rod, piston and pin without hurting reliability. Don't think it will be worth any measureable power but should rev faster.
