I'm pretty sure the above comment about the flywheel was meant towards an after market light weight flywheel. I'd look into a 7.5-lb Fidanza flywheel.

Anything the removes rotating mass. Lightweight connecting rods and pistons. Have the entire rotating assembly blueprinted and balanced. Also, maybe look into knife-edging your crank.

Honestly, learning to drive the car and learning/changing your driving style will probably be more cost effective than spending the money "building" the engine. Plus, your car won't have any down-time so you can enjoy it. I'm not saying DON'T build it, but maybe hold off on doing it for a while.
