LateModel B23

09 Shaw, 4 bar, Chevelle stub. This is just a couple of "what-if" questions about front springs and front split on the springs. I will mention that the track is a black dirt, usually heavy 1/2 mile with sweeping somewhat high bank corners - Devils Bowl in TX to be specific. Book calls for 600LF and 650RF. With those springs the car seemed to want to slide the RF to the right more than it wants the allow the RF to help turn the car. I dropped the RF to a 600 and it seemed better, but it now seems the car is going onto the RF really fast and almost creating a plowing type effect that is loosening exit, especially in turn2.
So, what about there being no split in the front of one of these cars? I thought about going to a 625 of the RF. What about also going to a 575LF at the same time.
I have setup many a winning late model at this track over the years, but this is my first time working with a 4 bar modified. Car is decent, driver is doing okay, consistently can be a top 5 car. But it seems to be off just a little and I have narrowed to doing some tuning possibly on the front end.
Any thoughts?
