weight placement

For the best weight transfer the weight should be as far back and as high as you can put it legally.

Back in the early 70's I was at a race & could not make legal weight with my 1969 F/S Z-28 Camaro. Seems like my car was one that they didn't put the door braces in, and a few other things.. I took the back seat out and wove some trash bags into the springs. then put the correct weigh of sand in the bags. Worked pretty good. Had those 7" tires hooking so good I won the event. Sure glad the tech guys didn't sit in the back seat.
