Weight Loss

Now I have a Specialized Pitch Comp and I knwo the Pro weighs in at 30.6lbs sans pedals.
Does anyone have any idea what the comp weighs in a similar guise.
They have the same frame, finsihing kit, hubs, shufters, same sized (different manuacturer) brakes, diff shock but there's only like 50g's in it, same front mech, Pro has X9 rear, comp has X7 rear.
The only real difference I can see are in the crank, rims (same hubs & spokes) and fork. I know the forks are OEM to Specialized but looking at a Pike 409 & Pike 426 they weigh the same.
So am I right to assume the Pro would be at most a pound heavier?
And this is where I move on, how much would i loose from chaning my wheels to a set of DT5.1's on hope Pro 2's, I know about rotational mass, but obviously this depends on loss from rim weight, any clues?
Where else could weight be lost without comprimising strength, the seat post weighs bugger all anyway and I've already fitted a Charge Spoon which comes in at 261g's
Is sub 30lbs achiveable?
Oh yeah I've dropped 400g's by going from High rolers to AdVantage tyres adn i fle thte HR's were too slow rolling for where I ride and it ain't exactly a rock garden
