What springs,shocks and the track size and banking?
we run a 1/3 mile semi bank track. it has 500lb on lf 450 rf 250 lr 225 rr, also we are running integra cannister shocks. we have 52% on both the rear and left side weights with about 95 to 100 lbs of bite

52% rear might be a little low, unless its a crate engine. We run 1/2 mile tracks and my Warrior was just blowing the tires off the car for a few weeks. Moved the 5th coil out to 36" so it didn't hit the tires so hard.....problem solved for me. Something to think about.

my advice would be to sell the car and get a genX car, from what ive seen the genX cars def dont lack any forward bite. i never have liked anything about the smack cars, i dont even like to watch them go around the track.

Get the rear percent up to atleast 54% ,How does it handle in the slick?
its good coming into the corner, the middle off it needs more drive

Get the rear percent up to 54%. Put a 350 lb liftbar spring on at 36".
The Smack cars are just fine.
