        we run a 1/3 mile semi bank track. it has 500lb on lf 450 rf 250 lr 225 rr, also we are running integra cannister shocks. we have 52% on both the rear and left side weights with about 95 to 100 lbs of bite

          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.
          Crew Chief "Tip of the day":
          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.
