rule number one. give it what it wants, despite what everyone says. and you want seperation, not squat. for weight transfer, the front should be coming up while the back should be about level. with seperation in the rear, the tires are getting planted instead of being pulled off the track. talk to guys that have had the best luck with caltracs. when adjusted right, they raise the rearend some.

You're right. I got my caltrac's installed last night and I drove it around a bit on my street tires today. If i'm at an intersection and I brake stall it a bit, it lifts up in the back. Anyway, I can actually tell it has more traction now, even on my street tires. Tomorrow will tell! I'll be at the track in Greatbend Ks.
