Default C1 weight?

What is a good weight to plug in for a 58? I was trying ot play with a RWHP from ET calculator and want to put a good guess in for the weight. I was guessing 3050 lbs? Close enough?

Thanks with that weight my flywheel hp ranges between 299-321 and RWHP 249-271. Is amazing I can have so much fun with this little bit of hp. It makes me wonder how much fun more hp would be :D
