    slick track tighten up the whole way around

    hi we have a 2008 masterbuilt by mars it has 500 lf spring 350 rf and 250 lr 200 rr bars in smalls hole 3 up and 3 down 110 pound bite 53% lf side weight 53 rear %. my question what is the best way to tighten the car up all the way around should we raise the rear percent to 54 or 55 % for the real dry slick or is our let side weight to low. we run 1/3 mile thank you.

    Just by lookin at ur setup the little that i know u could swap ur rear springs or go to 225 rr. Raising ur left side will just free u up more into the corner.

            Your rear springs are reversed. Mastersbilt calls for a 200/225 LR and a 225/250 RR. What is your J-bar set at on the frame and rearend? I think your left % is okay, but you could probably use more rear % with your tire rule.

              With a 500l/f 450r/f 54.4 l/s my 08 would be very tight.
