SprintRacer4,
ASCS rules mandate an area where weight can be added (you can find these on ASCSracing.com). I've not read the WOO or ASCoC rules lately, but I believe thay are probably in the same area. Generally speaking, the weight should be located as close to the rear tires as permissable, but there are a ba-zillion caveats that go with that. The weight should usually also be placed as low as possible so as to not affect the roll center of the car but, again, this has the same caveats.
What it boils down to taking your best guess as to the original weight location, then seeing what effects it has and adjusting from there. As the old saying goes, if this was easy everyone would be doing it.
