Have you actually weighed an arrow? If not, I bet your 15 to 20gr. heavier than you think. Even at 360gr. you should be ok. Heavier is better though, especially if you're shooting mechanicals. If your arrows are under 28" you should be able to add 25gr. of point weight and your arrow spine still be stiff enough. To add the weight you will either need to go to 125gr. heads or use the weights that screw into the back of the Gold Tip inserts. You can find them here: http://www.3riversarchery.com/gold+tip+screw-in+weight+system_i6693X_baseitem.html

To remove your insert take a drill bit just slightly smaller than the inside of your shaft. Remove the nock and drop the bit down the shaft with the flat end of the bit toward the insert. Hold arrow by fletched end and sling it so that the drill bit slides down the arrow and slams into the insert. You will have to do this multiple times to knock the insert out.

The weights screw into the back of the inserts. They sell a tool, which is a long Allen wrench that you can use. You pop out the nock and screw them in from the back of the arrow. You can probably rig your own tool up that will work.
To remove inserts, I'll screw a field point in and then apply heat gradually to the field point only. Take it slow and use a pair of pliers and try to tighten the field point every so often until the insert breaks free. I've been doing it like this for years. You just have to be careful and take it slow so you don't apply too much heat and damage the carbon.
One more thing to do, when you screw the weights in, apply a drop of super glue to the threads so the won't come loose.

Yep. You'll need a 340 spine.

If you go with the heavier point and the 340 spine you'll pick up at least 50gr.

If you go with the heavier point and the 340 spine you'll pick up at least 50gr. That's at 60# with my 28" draw, right (for the right spine determination)? If BPS has their Gold Tip arrows on sale this August I may by some 340s and experiment some.

That's 60# with a 125gr point and a 29 to 30" arrow.
