      I knew I should have brought my setup book with me-I'm out of town currently and do not remember all info that you are asking. I know the springs are LR 200, RR 175, LF 550, and RF 600. Bite has varied from 50# to currently 96#. I don't run a chain I run a bump stop on LR. Everything else will have to wait till I get home, I simply can't remember. Percentages were 55.2 left, 55.4 rear, and 49 cross.

        Are you bottoming out your right front a arm? That would cause it to push up the track

          Car is not pushing; on the gas the rearend wants to come around. When I lift, the rear goes back to where it belongs. It's like the rear is steering towards wall while the front is fine. Sorry if I wasn't clear before. We run American Racers tires.(USRA rules)

            Look at things that are throttle dominant for changes. Top link, Pull Bar Lift Arm etc. Drop, Upper Bar Angles, Rear Weight which your a little low but not out there, You bite is ok, any binds, your rear springs look fine your fronts aren't out there, Rf maybe a little soft for what your complaining about, could be shocks, or a bar angle, put it at drop and measure your dynamic angle. is it 4 link or z link? what is spring arrangement RR on top LR behind If I missed it mentioned already sorry.

              Car is 4 link, LR spring behind shock in front, and RR is coilover in front.

                I would square the rear end back up,and try at least 20 degrees in the right upper bar,it should
                put more drive in the RR freeing you up.getting the wheel base to tight on the right side will
                cause the car to dart right if you let of suddenly.

                  When you are hitting the gas does the rear want to got ot the right ????????? If so that is normal for a 4 =bar , z-link set up

                    Dirtrunner, the problem is it never stops going right unless I get off throttle. Car never comes back under me. I've spent a lot of time watching "the fast boys" and, yes most of the time the rear will go right for a second and then come back under them and stays there down straightaway. On mine I have to drive out of passenger window and it isn't a comfortable feeling. After last three years in a 4-bar car I'm just about ready to go to a three link.
