I have a box stock car that seems to fit in either category. Thanks

A box stock car will be handicapped in pure stock race as it will be running against pure stock cars build with Pro axles and lighter wheels (2.4g) with narrower treads (7.5mm)!

Fenders, washers and wind shields are allowed in both but the wheelbase and rear axle location are locked in Pure stock (7/8th from rear and 4 3/8th apart).

So even if your box stock is build on a scout wheelbase chassis, I’d recommend at least swapping out the wheels and axles. You’ll have to relax the axle holes for Pro axles.
I’d prefer to build a new car. Practice makes perfect in this hobby. The experience gained from building cars in different classes will dramatically improve your process and consistency! Good luck and enjoy the new builds!

The Pure Stock cars will be much faster. Aftermarket wheels and axles are a huge advantage. I"m guessing that the Pure Stocks will be about .015-.02 faster than the Box Stock cars. (just a guess)

If your car is built based on the Box Stock rules, I would keep it in that class and build a new car based on the Pure Stock rules. (Or Basx!)
