Does weight make a big difference?
Me and my bud both have completely stock Z's(for now), and I have about ten more years experience than him but I weigh about 35 pounds more. We raced about 20 times and switched quads, every time I would be on his rear wheels to a quad lenght behind him. Does weight really make that much difference?
Even if I get the hole shot he still pulls through the gears faster.

Yeah, wieght makes a big difference. My brother has a 400ex its piped jetted and he has a k&n. We have raced a lot of times. Usually I hang right up with him. But, he is around 215lbs and 6'2". And then I am 135 and 5'9". My atv wieghs around 60lbs less than his. If you do the math thats like a 140lbs difference.

Oh yeah it makes a difference! I have a 250R with motor work but it still doesn't have as much power as a piped and jetted YFZ. However, my bike weighs about 30+ pounds (aluminum parts) less than a YFZ plus I only weigh 150 pounds and 4 out 5 times I will beat my friend on his Yammi.
