HEEE HEEE !!!!

But sreiously... when you search through "General Regulations", and find the specs permitted on something like a rear wing .... because it does not come out and say it's on the back of an altered or dragster, does that mean it also applies to a Stocker ? !

I'm out for the day tomorrow, but I'll get to the bottom of this on Thursday.

Nobody's going to want to help you if you keep arguing with them. But I'll give it one more try.

2007 NHRA Rulebook:
Stock.
Section 5A, page 59.
Frame.
Ballast.
Last sentence.
"See General Regulations 4.2" - that answers your statements about placing weight above rear tires.

Section 5A, page 61.
Body.
"Alterations or customizing prohibited; extent of customizing limited to paint only."
That answers your statement about adding a rear wing to the body of a Stock vehicle.

You should also study the introductory section, specifically page 15. "How to use this rulebook", 4th paragraph. That will nullify your statement about your "experienced 428 Shelby racer" having weight placed in defiance of General Regulation 4.2.

It sounds like you are getting god advice on your suspension. Assuming the advice is valid and legal to the rules, I would think you would be able to gain traction with weight placed legally in your Stocker.
I deleted most of my responses on clutch adjustments as you indicated you had a handle on that.

Good luck.
