Weight reduction is key in tuning a car.
I disagree. My parts are listed and my baseline was 270. I'm still untuned until uprev sends me back my ROM files. I'm sitting at 316 right now.

You have the Long Tube Headers working in your favor, even with the new tune you're pretty much maxed out.

It is not easy getting 50whp but it can be done. You will have to go with long tube headers, HFC or TP's will not be enough. If you go that route you will be LOUD! Also, since you seem like a noob, the install for all these parts and the subsequent tune will not be cheap, that is if you want it done properly.
