Going to drive in a mod class that has minimum weight of 2500 LBS. The car should be at 200 lbs or a little less over that minimum with me in it. Should i try to put more gear in to compensate or just get someone to drive it that weighs less than I to drive ?

Try one notch higher. If I had to worry about my weight I never would have been in the seat.

We used to use a bit deeper gear with our heavy big bb Ford's to help get them off the corners... ancient history.
