How much bhp is lost “roughly” on the RA dyno with the Impreza’s?
I’m trying to figure out my options as I might try my best to keep the car within Class D, it’ll be tough though unless I decided against another map, but keeping the power as is will have me down a bit in Class D.

I've always worked to 12% to 15% on my FWD cars. I would have thought AWD would have been more like 15% to 20% but have no idea as to exactly how RA's dyno compares to others.

I was surprised how low the losses were on the Impreza worked out at about 17.5% so probably would be in the 12-15% area although I suspect it's not a linear loss graph |

You can always add some ballast to stay within the Class. See the SLS Regulations for the restrictions on the amount of ballast that can be fitted within the car.
Or you could buck the trend and eat more pies
