Weight is but one factor on building a stocker, you have to look at issued horspower, weightbreak, classes allowed to run, other combo's in class, other people running your combo. adding weight is easier than taking out; example, said combo has a weightbreak of 26.00 and is a v8, to be competitive, you need to be at 20.00 so you need to remove lets say 800 lbs, hate to say it ain't gonna happen. Rules as per weight are you can remove to move up or down a class. Could be 100 lbs, could be 300 lbs. If you can't remove enough to get to faster class, remove enough to be at top of natural class. And remember, run 10 to 20 lbs heavy due to scale difference.
