My CF pieces weighed less than my stockers, not saying the OEM pieces aren't already stupid light but CF was still lighter, add a braille batter and I don't think I could have shaved anymore without going full racecar.

When my Uprev tune was done, it was done for torque, not HP. I now have max torque on tap at 3200 Rpm vs 4800 rpm before the tune. Max HP is probably the worst indicator of useable power. Torque = Power, and the sooner torque comes on, the better. Especially on a race course or a dragstrip. Be honest, how often do you drive this engine over 6000 RPM? Your fillings will fall out.
