No, I run a 6300 full size pack, and I still have to add weight. A shorty would be horribly unbalanced and would require even more weight.
You seem to have missed the part about rearranging the components to balance everything and having more ballast to tune the cars weight distribution. A regular pack means the weight of the components is spread further between the axles. Concentrating the weight and moving it forward means the car will change directions more quickly and take less to get the car to stop changing direction. It makes it so it takes less steering input to get the car to change direction, which means it scrubs less speed to corner.
