Tighten Metric Car??

[racer21]

IM wondering when people say they are tighting there race car what are they doing.Had a guy tell me he made his car to tight by adding stagger,Is this right or wrong? My thought to tighten for slick would be take out bite,take out ls weight reduce stagger, IDK I'D just like to here what everyone else does in this case,Thanks for the input

adding stagger...using a smaller lr tire will put more load on rr tire and tends to tighten entry but loosens exit if it spins the tires...knowing where the problem is on the track is important for the correction needed.

Add cross till it pushes, then back it off some. Some use reverse stagger on street stock cars, bigger tire on left rear adds cross. You can add cross with out fiddling with the chassis by using a bigger tire on the RF.
RF 86-88" run out
LF 83-85" run out
RR 86-88" run out
LR 84-86" run out
This is approximate tire sizes, you use what works for you.

Moldymundoon is 100% right that will work

I always used wheel offset to tighten it up as the track slicked off. I normally ran 2" offsets up front and 3" on the back. I put a 2" on the RR for the heat race to loosen it up a bit.
