If you are loose in and tight off, then less. If you are tight in and loose off, more.

A floated lr behind deal will get you hooked up better.

do you have a 90-10 axle damper shock on?
are you running a 4 link on RR or z-link?
straight panhard bar?

If you put on a 90-10 that will snug up entry.
might drop rr lower bar one hole. that will tighten all the way threw corner.
try a 225 on LR. it should tighten on throttle
4" offset RR wheel will help too

Do you have a limiting chain on the RR?
I have seen clamp cars that are on the 4 link right side, spring on birdcage, and on axle tube, try to climb the bars on the right side.
Which will try to plant RR tire middle off corner, and down straight.

Swap the rear springs and run the 90 10

everyone says a 90-10 will help with entry but will it take anything away on exit...

Just my two cents and it may not be worth much but 550 seems like a pretty soft ref spring for a clamp car. We always had good luck with 700lf 650rf and 225 across back. If the car is loose all over you may want to think about taking some lead out of the rear end.

Unless have a newer car a 4 inch wheel wont fit on rr only a 3 inch.

a 3in right rear will also rub on the zlink bar , it calls for a 2in rim all around the car, if you stay with pierces book you should be close. if your running a short bar it should be center of yoke or 1 hole above. j bar center to yoke or 1 hole below.

i put the 9010 on the car and drooped the bite down to 40.. car was great .. it was actually to tight,, i had to loosen it up to get it to rotate through the middle...
