That has to be a typo? Unless it's one of those funky level 10's that show as a level 3 RE level.
The big areas - RE a level 7 gun. I would drop to a level 8 engine with lower energy drain, I think you'll find similar performance and gain some mass that can be transferred to a level 8 gun or or shield. I'm also not a big fan of ordinance on light ships, I'd scrap the ImRec launcher. Throw some armor on there to fill out whatever mass you have, even if it's just scrap.
What overloads can you run? My TIE Interceptor (standard) runs all level fours - I think you'll have a hard time doing that with those energy drains.
Capacitor could be better, Level 2's at 36 regen are common, but I doubt you need to bother replacing that.
From an ethical standpoint, no PvP pilot will take you seriously in that ship. You might win, but it's a worthless win. I understand the ship though, I'm dying for them to fix the hitbox so I can fly one.
Apart from that its pretty much said, and that engine is just outrageous.

No typo, its one of the funky ones, but with lvl 5 RE level

I'd like to keep the engine, lol

Reactor Overload 3, Capacitor Overload 3, Engine Overload 3, Weapon Overload 3, should I replace the image rec IIs for a better reactor so I can run engine overload 4/reactor overload 4?

Yeah, sadly, I had the choice of either the 949 capacitor, 31 recharge, or 36 recharge, low 800's max.

I know, but no one really cares about space PvP on tempest, its all with the jedi on the ground.
All level 4's will mean you fight harder. With one gun (and especially without a launcher) it's easy to run WO4, which makes up for some of the lack of damage in a 1-gun ship. My capacitor does a pretty good job of keeping up as well, as long as I'm not shooting constantly while shunting.

Sounds good, how high on my reactor should I go? Like level one overcharged? or like level 5? Or re'd?
