    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.

    Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

    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 54%. Put a 350 lb liftbar spring on at 36".

    The Smack cars are just fine.
