I'm currently using the following setup to varied success, but i feel killing something takes forever.
Im ratting guristas btw.
High:
[3250 | 30] 1400mm Carbine Howitzer I [15xTitanium Sabot L]
[3250 | 30] 1400mm Carbine Howitzer I [15xTitanium Sabot L]
[3250 | 30] 1400mm Carbine Howitzer I [15xTitanium Sabot L]
[2750 | 35] 1200mm Artillery Cannon I [30xTitanium Sabot L]
[2750 | 35] 1200mm Artillery Cannon I [30xTitanium Sabot L]
[2750 | 35] 1200mm Artillery Cannon I [30xTitanium Sabot L]
[ 7 | 20] Small Tractor Beam I
[ 1 | 20] Salvager I
Med:
[ 0 | 40] Ballistic Deflection Field I
[ 0 | 40] Ballistic Deflection Field I
[ 165 | 115] Large Shield Booster II
[ 135 | 32] Large Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I
[ 1 | 6] Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array
Lows:
[ 1 | 31] Cross-Lateral Gyrostabilizer I
[ 1 | 31] Cross-Lateral Gyrostabilizer I
[ 0 | 16] Type-D Power Core Modification: Diagnostic System
[ 0 | 19] Type-D Power Core Modification: Shield Flux
[ 0 | 20] Shield Flux Coil I
[ 0 | 0] Nanofiber Internal Structure I
The passive-augmented tank holds up well, but its the killing part that is horrible to the point where i am indirectly chaining the spawn. 
I get 150.569 DPS on structure according to quickfit.
Im thinking of getting a full rack of 1400 scouts, but what is the most essential part of a tempest?
Any tips?

Don't switch to Scouts, it's not worth the price.
I've never ratted in a Tempest, and I don't know about your skills, but maybe they're too low for a battleship? Do you have Min. Battleship 4? All gunnery skills at 4+? Do you wanna try with a Typhoon (if you have missile skills) ?

i see you use all tech1 equipment... this is the problem
gyro tech2 arent hard to put both skill and isk wise
second you mix 1400 with 1200, imho it will be much better to use full rack of 1200 (tech 2 prefered) and 2 cruise launchers instead of salvager and tractor for additional dps
1400 and 1200 have very similar dps after you factor reload times but 1200mm have lower range and much nicer fitting requirement
third point is: do you use drones? drone bay you have is like free candy in dps department
Im not english native speaker, so for all those US players that think english is the language of the universe: dont point mistakes or write something in my language so I can laugh |

try something like...
6x 800mm Autocannons
2x heavy nosferatu
1x 100mn AB
1x named stasis webifier
3x cap recharger
1x large armor rep
2x kinetic hardeners
2x thermic hardeners
1x gyrostabilzier
cheers  *1 heavy nos might be swapped for a salvager...*

If you want to stick to artillery, use 6x1400mm; ab/2x kinetic hardeners/large booster/shield boost amp; 3x Gyrostabs, 3x PDU
T2 where you can afford it, at least the damage mods should be. CPU can be a bit tight with low skills, but it should fit with named mods.
Use Phased Plasma instead of Titanium Sabot, it does more dps. Autocannons are an option if you have the means to produce vast quantities of ammo close to you, otherwise the low ammo consumption of arties will serve you better.

The money isnt really the problem, 0.0 ratting is profitable :)
The main problem for me atm is that BoB and MC are generally blocking my path to empire >_<
That is for example the reason for my mixed guns, my unnamed shieldflux and my t1 gyrostabs. Ill try decking her out with t2 everything i can and getting BS 4. Lets just hope i wont get ganked on my way up with the goods...
And To me it really looks like TS is about equally damaging vs Guristas as PP, but with better range.

I'd use 1200mms if you plan to rat in an arty tempest, 1400mms are only significantly better in term of alpha and range neither of which is important that useful in ratting. 1200mms are cheaper, use less grid, and have better tracking (which is needed to hit cruiser and BC rats.)

I'm not a fan of shield tanking a Tempest, and you are losing three low slots to the tank, so not sure about the advantage there.
Tempest is a fine ship, but honestly, I preffer the Typhoon for 0.0 ratting. Well, I actally like the Typhoon better than the Tempest for everything but sniping.
The Typhoon can mount a very impressive tank. You can use four heavy artillery or siege launchers, plus sentries. A target painter is, well... use it, you'll love it. You can mount a tractor and I mount two salvagers and a cloak. I don't bother trying to mix weapons (and don't ever mount a gyro and a BCU).
Park 40Km from the mobs, release the sentries and chew through the large ships. As the small ones get close, pull in the sentries, release a flight of smaller drones and... well... laissez les bons temps rouler!

You don't need good gunnery skills, expensive equipment, or any of that crap to rat in a BS. BS are, by far, the easiest things to rat in.
Personally, I wouldn't passively tank a pest. You lose so many slots, and its not like your setup is short on cap or anything. Play on your ships strengths--its what EVE is all about.
