im not sure you'd keep track of that info, however...

Only power mods in SSC/B-Spec are a drop in air filter element (in the stock air box) and a cat-back exhaust. And considering all the cars get the same mods they should all increase similarly percentage wise.

The biggest issue I see with the 2 is I don't think it can get down to a 2130lb race weight. Stock it weighs 2310lbs (data provided by Mazdaspeed). You can pull all of the interior (less the dash), AC and audio, but you have to put in a 6-point roll cage. When SCCA does the weight calculations they base it on a 180lb driver, so that would mean to hit the 2130lb number you need the car to weigh 1950lbs. Not likely in SSC/B-Spec trim.
