I weighed it at the track a couple of weeks ago. With 3/4-tank of gas: 2980 lb. The tank in these cars is HUGE at 20 gallons, I've gone over 470 miles on a tank! 3/4-tank = 15 gallons, about 95 lb., so empty weight should be 2885 lb., or 80-120 lb. heavier than stock.
LSx/T56 swaps generally don't add this much when similarly equipped to original, but I've got some additional weight-adders (in addition to p/s and a/c):
Roll bar (~40 lb.), Accusump (~25 lb.), bigger wheels/tires (255/265 StarSpecs => +20 lb.), StopTech 328mm front/99+ RX-7 rear brakes.
Weight distribution of the car with 3/4-tank is 49.9/50.1 front/rear.
With me in the car and 3/4-tank, it's 49.5/50.5.
LS2 with shaved L92 heads, LS3 intake, 222/230 .597" cam:
To be taken with a grain of salt... The car did 129.16mph in the 1/4 and 184.8mph in the standing mile, by my calcs the above plot is probably about right for flywheel torque/power, optimistic for the rear wheels.
Track times: Not up to speed yet... No track tires for it, and the suspension is not that great (Tein SS that were run for MANY miles at the wrong settings which may have damaged them). Still was 2nd quickest at an FD meet at VIR south course in May. Slow amongst the fast cars at NHMS time trials with COMSCC a couple of weeks ago. Need tires!
Here it is:
