I don't need to know specific events, I'm just wondering if I would have a fighting chance. I can ruck with 50lbs on my back all day but I can't deny i'd have a harder time rucking 100lbs seeing as how i weight 130.

You're probably right. SF routinely discriminates against soldiers due to their size and completely neglects their ability and demonstrated potential during SFAS and the Q-course.
Since your performance obviously won't be an issue, go ahead and quit now. No sense in putting yourself through the pain of training and the subsequent embarrassment on day 2 of SFAS when they line everyone up by height and kick all the short people out. Even if you survived THAT cut, day three they place everyone in line by weight and kick everyone out who weighs less than 150 so you are already done either way.
SF is for self starters and self motivators. People who can get the job done if they are the only one left. If you want nudges, attaboys, and assurances regarding something you haven't even started yet, then you are already finished.
There is a lot of mentoring for future SF soldiers that goes on within these threads...but there is very little handholding.
