462 lbs. with 3 gallons of gas and no air shifter bottle or Steering damper cylinder is what I weighed it at. I figure it be right at 460, fully set up, with 2 gallons in it.
1/3rd the way down this page:

This winter I think I am going to get a little more serious about lightening it up.

I guess the idea was that even at over 200lbs. suited, I would be able to run close to what a jockey-sized guy (Smokin, 14Nooby, etc) could run on their bikes. Now all I need to do is ride the bike right. So far, my best has been 9.0's at 215 lbs suited...and those were on slow 1.5 60 foots. 
Now my 60 ft's are better, but the air is bad...

By calculating mph numbers this morning, it seems that 15lbs equals 1 mph in the 1/4. Does this come out about right with your past and present numbers?

I don't know about weight and 1/4 mile mph. I know that in the mile, 20 lbs. is close to 1 mph. The rule of thumb I've heard is somewhere around .10 for 30 lbs....but I've never heard of a weight vs. mph #.
I know I picked up a few mph since last year...but there are a lot of variables in my case, besides the weight.
On my 12R, a 120 lbs. lighter rider did go 6+ mph faster than me on the same day.
