      I'm going to take a swing at it I'm not 100% sure I understood all that.

      I think you are saying its tight on entry. If so try softening the LF spring. It looks from your notes if I'm reading it right you have a 600rf and a 650lf. Try switching them. Should be a noticeable amount.

        Yes tight entry.. i thought that was heavy across the front. but swithing springs it will go to 100 split, my promblem was tight entry. but i could not wrap my mined around the fact it was so heavy left front.. but i never scaled car with driver in it either....thanks

            Don't worry about the amount that the LF is heavier than RF. Get your left side weight, rear weight, and wedge (rear split) correct and the front wheel weights will just fall into place.

            If you are tight on entry then put the softer spring on the LF and stiffer spring on the RF as was suggested by powerslide.

              most chevelle chassis like a RF heavy spring combo.
              Most
              not all
              I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                With all that I have been sorting out on this new car, it looks a 700 RF is what it likes.

                  What % would you suggest, for the left rear and cross? or weight? And thanks for all the help.. To All......

                    With driver anywhere from 56-53 could work. Get in the ball park then tune it to see what makes the car go.

                      Always scale with the driver in the car or the driver's weight simulated in the car.

                      54% left
                      56 to 57 % rear
                      80 lbs of wedge (LR 80 pounds heavier than RR)

                      I don't pay attention to cross weight.
