Update here:
We got all the permanent weight for DF/S mounted up front and added a small weight box where we could easily fine tune the scale weight. Have to say , it didn't help much with the traction though. We're hoping it will be somewhat better at a national event prepared track, in the daytime
We haven't really done anything with the suspension yet.
I'm going to have to research the availability of an adjustable front strut or at least a stiffer one. Then maybe fool with the camber and toe in.
Still need to do something about the steering rack. We need to replace it with a manual one or maybe one tooth less on the pinion?

Anyway..Last night at Wild Horse:
90 to 100 degrees
4000 to 4600 da
28.5 baro

All runs between 1.09 and 1.14 under NHRA index for sea level tracks.
