I've been running a max torque that locks up at 2400 all year.I purchased a hillard fire and looking to set it at 3200.Are there any guide lines on when to add clutch weights and do you have to change driving styles leaving the pits and under cautions.
 
I wouldn't see a reason to change driving styles. You don't want to the clutch slipping more than necessary, if that's what you mean. The configuration of your track may determine if the clutch engagement rpm is anything different than peak torque for your engine (my preference.)

Adding weights and going to stiffer/heavier springs can be beneficial. The only way you will determine what is best for you is to experiment with different set-ups and go with what yields the best results/lap times.
