    400 over a 700 is an awful soft spring rate at 1st (254)i my self would work there first,or go up on the rr but thats a double edge sword,if your off the gas its going to be tighter getting in,but sitting here thinking,what about the lr bottom bar??? if it has the small adjustments go up a hole,that will free up the whole corner on the gas
    ,your scale #s can help some of that also
    there a couple ways to skin that cat,1st bottom lr bar,if its to much put it back and work on the rf spring,i really wouldnt touch the rr,but thats me,just remember if you do go up on the rr and your not on the gas it will be tighter going in

      if you think it has too much drive,you can back of the rf lock nut(im guessing your using the dual stage setup)

        I think the right front is the problem. I ran better with a 10in 350 on it.

          It is hard to go softer than that without the correct package around it.

            What a good set up for steelhead motor weighing 2450 on a 4 10th miles track that gets a little dry?

              most smackdowns that i heard of really liked rf spring,with a steelheaded engine,i guessing here 425-400,masters may have a better answer than me on that,that will help in off the gas but will be tighter off than the 350,i know you have said that your going in on the gas but if its not a d shaped track or big sweeping corners ill bet your lifting,at least a little,good luck,but your on the right track,fix entry 1st then middle and exit
              hope i helped some

                Stack or bump stop? Or just a standard 10 or 12 in sring? On right front.

                  I heard a team using a pin down shock like 2\11 with 325lb RR spring. He is driving in super deep and the spring rate launches him off the turn. Idk that's the way I heard him tell it. But I'm sure its a whole package deal. I also believe its a long horn car.
