I have read that with the headers and exhaust, one can gain between 15-25 rwhp, but lose 0-60 times by 0.5 sec and 1/4 mile quickness time by 1 sec. I have also read that this gain in rwhp is spread throughout the powerband making for wider powerband and higher top-end. Are these things true? Short of Turbo, SC, or NO2, what are some things I could consider doing to get that "off the line" quickness back or beyond without cutting off the top-end?
 
I would think that a lighter flywheel would give you the illusion that you're moving quicker/faster, when in fact you're actually moving through the gears and revving up faster than before.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably he suggested a new clutch so you can dump it hard when taking off?

Another option is weight reduction.
