DO run Remote for the tank
DON'T use a stainless steel barrel
DON'T use a warp

That's about it though. The ULE and the X-Valve will be the only ways to REALLY cut the weight.

X-Valve is an aluminum retro valve for the Mag. Run a search and you'll see all sorts of discussion on it.

As for where we (Black Cell) play- our home field is PBX in Sussex (who isn't open yet), but have been known to hit Fireball Mountain, Long Island Paintball Arena and Skirmish USA.

stick with the steel stock body, in the end it weighs the same as a larger body that is made out of aluminum

get an aluminum barrel (dye's and CP's are good)

get a small, fiber wrapped bottle 45/4500's are good (PMI's are lightest to my knoweledge)

a good drop foward stops it from being back heavy and makes it feel lighter and more balanced

last but not least, get the x-valve (alumium version of the ReTro)

warp does not add that much weight to your gun, and it helps alot... dont get a HALO - they are quite heavy, just get a WAS Turbo Rev (turbo rev board w/ vortex impeller), as it is light and feeds very fast
