    i have always tried to get it as close as possible.but with that said my new car is around 200 heavy on LF. it can run any were on the track and is up front and winning races so i am leaving it were it is. i guess its what works for you.

    I run a chevelle stub with 600's across the front and I am told to be 100-150 heavy on the lf per chassis builder

    Who is your chassis builder?

    The left front wheel weight is a by product of the total left side weight. Say you have a 2400 lb car with 55% left. Your left side would weigh 1320 lb and the right side would weigh 1080. That would give you 240 lbs across the front if you had 0 lr bite. If you had 240 lbs LR bite, you would have even front weights, or 120 LBS bite would leave you with 120 LBS LF heavy. Put the left side % and LR bite that the chassis builder says to run and don't worry about the front wheel split.

    I always run even to favoring LF. Frank McClendon from the old "Custom Chassis Co." taught me that. Worked all the way up from karts to Dirt Super Late Models.
