    The first thing I notice is left side weight percentage is too high. Wouldn't want to be much over 54% with driver.

      you didn't list your wheel weights but your cross seems a bit low for slick and your left side seems high.
      looking from the back of the car we usually toe in the rs rods a little and opposite on the left. and you could bump up rf spring 50#...didn't mention your pull bar but we run the 700-2000 progressive..just some thoughts, good luck

            This car runs a bump stop in rf car seems a little better if we put more shims in rf bump stop would taking rf rebound out and less tie down

                      What's the rebound and compression of RF shock, and brand.

                          16 being the rebound and 3.5 being the compression? That high of rebound wouldn't let the weight transfer back very quickly and would inhibit forward drive.
