we have a 2008 Masterbuilt and we just got done scaling and this is what we got lf 542 rf 497 lr 630 rr 540 what would be a good place to start to get the left front weight down without disturbing the amount of bite thanks.

Front split seems fine, and so does the left %. How much are you suppose to weigh?

If you are suppose to weigh 2300, I would say you are really close. The extra weight you need on the rear of the car would put your % pretty good. I am sure more people will have more input.

there's no answer to you question but here's your two options:

1. physically move weight and disturb your Left/Rear % or....

2. change your cross-weight (and bite) to accommodate your desired LF/RF split.

Your weights come up to 2209. Are these weights with driver?
You stated 2300 # min.

L%=53%
R%=53%
Cross%=51%
90# bite


If this is w/o driver then hard for me to say what you need to do.:cool:

If the driver is going to be in the car when you are racing you may want to see what your percentages are with him in the car. :)

Unless your driver is about 75 pounds, I think you might have to make some changes haha. I have quickrete backs and weights I put in the seat to simulate me being in the car. That way I can set all the ride heights and wheel weights as if I was in the seat.
