Add some bite first and try it. Then go exploring other options.

Bite will affect on/off throttle handling differently, so make sure it is on throttle entry you are trying to fix. I kept adding bite to my car last year and it was doing the opposite of what I wanted it to do. Check out this link for tuning. http://www.afcodynapro.com/file/1320...JmyZITb6b3mG1o

Having two guys asking questions and getting answers on the same thread will make this really confusing.
To the OP, put 120# of bite in the car and try it. Make a fairly big swing at it. This will loosen under braking and tighten on the throttle.
To the Hijacker, if you are tight going in and still on the throttle, have your crew watch you and see if you are driving in deeper than others around you. Just because you can accelerate doesn't mean you should. Sometimes it's not the car, it's the driver causing the problem. Not saying that is happening but I see a lot of guys drive too deep and cause a push. If that's the case, add more gear.

Left rear bite. Start at 70lbs left rear heavy and add from there. Its not uncommon to see a 3 bar car in the 120-150 range, sometimes even a little more. Don't be afraid to add bite.Last edited by langdonracing48; 04-06-2014, 06:22 AM.

Also your shocks, if you can afford to make some changes try running lf 5/3, rf 4/8, rr 3/5 if slick, straight 4 if its got grip. The lr depends on how much $ you can spend. If you can afford it, a good 14/2 gas shock would be awesome. If not integra sells a cheap 8/2, I'd give that a shot.

OK I put the car on the scales to increase lr bite but if I increase it to around 75lbs the front wheel weights are about even within 5 lbs of each other. His do I fix this without messing up my %s badly?

If you change the rear, the front has to change along with it.
Screw down on the LR and RF and back off on the RR and LF to keep your ride heights and add bite.
I only tracked Left %, Rear % and LR bite. I never paid attention to cross weight or the front wheel weights on any of my cars.
