You need to get the car on a scale. When I built a factory stock class racer we took out the heater box, gutted the inside, air bags etc, wipers and motor and added light seats (kept the carpet and door panels as per rules), we ran super light (and big $$) Bogart wheels and we still were a little over 2900 lbs. This was a 95 GT btw. Your car at that weight and with the power you say it has should be an absolute animal. We were running high 11's in our set up with about 315 rwhp.

I'm going to weigh it at the truck stop as soon as I get if running again. That was just a guess for the weight.

I don't know anything about these cars, or turbo's. it deff pulled from the wrx but i'm saying it wasn't as fast of a pull away as when I raced him. the wrx had full exhaust when i raced him, and now its got that plus intercooler sprayer and a cobb stage 2 tune.

So the car doesn't have the turbo swap? If he is running the stock turbo even with the cams don't expect him to be over 300 whp. There is a huge difference in the WRXs with a stage II tune, the tune probably netted him about 30-35 hp on a tbe car.

Look it up online. My guess would be around 2800lbs give or take some, but that's just a guess. I'm to lazy to look it up.

Depending on the year its going to be about 2700 lbs. As for the WRXs the tune doesn't increase the boost too much it changes the fuel maps and tweeks the computer. With just the accessport from cobb they claim a 25 hp and 25 tq increase, with a full turbo back exhaust and the tune they are easily at about 50 hp and 60 tq over stock.
