Calculating with the new weight, you laid down at least 323.89 whp. Keep in mind that doesn't include power lost to wheel spin, roll resistance, or air resistance. So you actually laid down more than that. But that is the physical minimum amount of energy required to move your car that far that fast.
I weighed mine with a 1/2 tank of gas and me not in it once and if I remember right it weighed 3,070. I'd have to do a forum search from when I was setting up my G-tech meter to be sure, it might have been 3,170.
