After I make all these changes I think the 5000 will still be much faster than the 7.3 Hybrid that I'm riding now.
It is easy, but it is also expensive. Also, after all those changes the 5000 may not be any faster than your hybrid because the aerodynamics (the main power consumer) will be about the same. To make your 7.3 "faster" fit smooth tread 700-28 tires and you will be surprised at the difference.
