It should only really need to be tuned once, or every time you add new parts. The only things you really need to do is check your oil a lot more than a N/A car, change your oil a little more often, and change your spark plugs more often.

8 pounds isn't too much. Just check you oil after the first 1000 miles, and then replace accordingly depending if its regular or synthetic. 2000 miles will probably be the golden number.
