Unless you're getting pretty in-depth into chassis setup, I don't think there's any reason to do anything other than equal out the two diagonal weights (RF-LR & LF-RR) so there's no bias turning one way or the other.
This is what I did with my WRX before nationals... I got within 10 lbs on the two cross corners with 1/4 tank of gas.

It is critical that tire pressures are correctly set, and make sure your numbers are reproducable.

With my suspension, I had to have the car running on the scales for the suspension to settle evenly and consistantly.
