IIRC bias is shifted ~4%. WGP did have an account but they were apparently banned for "ruining the true nature of the car". Or at least that was what they said the ban was for.
A crate LS1 from GM weighs 409lb's without oil. Add in all the fabricated additional supports, braces (86 frame will twist with a high torque engine), stronger front springs, and all the ancillary stuff and I assure you it's significantly more than a fa20 with a vortech.
