tuning chassis generally refers to adjusting things like shock absorbers, spring rates, heights etc. You can tune any chassis to a certain degree but most tube chassis cars have a lot of adjustabilty built into them like multiple pick up points for rear ladder bars etc etc. Tube chassis is generally stiffer as well. Hope this helps.

weight transfer is actually a problem in the real quick stuff. generally need to move weight forward when you start getting into 8's and lower.
