    loose off corner

    hi I have a question on a 2008 master built with springs 500 and a 400 in the front and a 250 on the left rear and 225 on right rear 96 pounds of bite with 54 rear percentage. My question is what would be a good way to tighten the car coming off the corner way to loose on exit. the car come in good and rotate excellent just need to be tighter middle off.

    Just gussing dont no rest of your setup or type of track. I would start by droping both rightside bars a hole or raise j-bar on frame or lower on pinnion if entry is good.

      Drop the right front spring rate and add more bite.

        just kind of a dumb question but for the feature when it is dry and slick we normally go five turns down on the left rear and two up on both right side springs and i am wonder is going five down going the wrong way that all are traction is going more instant just wonder what a good amount of bite would be for a 1/4 mile semi banked track thanks.

          Raise left top bar and or drop right top bar if you just want to snug up exit.

            We race a '10 smack. Nothing as small as a 1/4 mile. 3/8 to 5/8. We have a whole lot less spring on the rf and a whole lot more bite. Our starting point is 140# bite but we have been as high as 200#. With the limited ammount of info, is it possible the car is actually tight on entry and the driver is shaking it loose with either the gas or the brake and then its loose?

              Adding 5 rounds of tilt in left rear sounds good when dry . You prob need to drop left bottom bar a hole or two .Check the angle before then after adding tilt on left side. Would say you are gaining some angle on left side bars becouse of the car being picked up 1/2 inch or more making you gain steer on throttle that can make you feel loose or no traction on exit.

                Some rear weight might do wonders too.
