    Default r/f shock

    I have a shock with 800@2'' rebound,COB digressive piston.If I swap to a shock with 1400@2'' will this tighten the car at the apex?

    It should loosen the car at the point of throttle up.

    It depends on what you're running on the RF. Conventional spring, 2-stage spring, and bump stop setups have different dampening requirements to make it work. What the OP posted would not be uncommon with a bump stop setup.

    You think the extra travel from being deeper on the bump will cause a lose of traction at the l/r?

    Your cars nose is certainly rising when you gas up with the 800 on there. It will do it much less with the new one. My typical setup would push at that point with an 800@2.

    Tried the shock at practice,made a change to tighten car on exit at same time.Because everybody kept spinning out we never got any good lap times but the driver liked it.Felt better from entry to middle with no loss in drive.
