I know the lb/hp measurement is very simplistic (sprung vs unsprung wt considerations etc.) but its still a metric worth looking at.

That's awesome! That is they way to go, that should make it easier. One minor difference is that I believe that 3000 lb car with 400hp is still better than 436 at 3370. The driving dynamics etc are better. My boss has a 500hp Shelby Cobra. Awesome car, fast but heavy. So, I think the weight reduction and a little more power...the "goldilocks setting" is best.
PS, still love your PICS!
