I would agree if that was all I was going to do, but in conjunction with plastic bumpers, hoods, possibly front fenders, deleting all the old-man-in-a-Buick-options like ac/cc/radio etc, lightweight interior and seats, light battery, etc, etc, one can make a substantial difference in the power-to-weight ratio,
Adding power is fine but decreasing weight gives the acceleration improvement also, plus better handling, braking, and even better gas mileage,
