That question has alot of answers. I wish I had them all, but I don't. I take a lot of pride in felling that I'll always win a "shut-off" contest. Meaning--if it's a drag race, and someone has to lift first, it won't be me!
Traditionaly, I like to run hard in and scrub off speed in the corner, and catch the car with side bite. I have had long conversations with some of the best at setting up race cars. Chad Sterling, Dave Murry, Randy, JR, Jason, Mark, & so on. I generaly get the same responce. "What works for me may not work for you".
I intentionaly left this off of the web site, do to just that. We spent most of last year trying different set-ups in the car. And what we found was nothing short of amazing. We have always tried to keep "cross" to a minimum when scaling the car. As we get closer to the way I want the car to react (by adjusting at the track). We scaled the car after a night which I thought the car handled the best ever, and knowing we had put cross in the car. I was shocked to see that we had more in it than ever.
Some drivers soften springs to get the car to "roll over" to increase side bite. Others will put a heaver spring in the front (around 1300) and claim it to go in as fast as they want. For me, I'll stick with dialing in more cross as the track dries out.
I hope this helps some, or at least give you some things to consider. I'll try to help if I can. But, like they say, what works for me, may not work for you!
Later, HB
