Thanks again Scott ...I will try the changes you suggested.
inconceivable
I ran the 0* front block on carpet and my car was very twitchy, I added 1mm wheel spacers to make the front wider and my car was not twitchy at all and drove very nice. I had to keep the wheel nuts tight with the 1mm spacers.

Were you running rubber or foam tires??
Also oneway, diff or spool??

I would recommend you to move the spacers on the inner hinge pins to make the wheel base shorter (front a-arms will move toward back) when you have 0 block in the front. This will reduce the front drive shaft (cvd) sweep angle.
I hope it helps.

Wow ... thanks for all the input on pivot blocks and their application. I'll be racing this car this weekend and will try some of these suggestions. Again, thank you !

I will make sure my toe is right.
I was running rubber with a diff on some layouts and a spool on others. My Cyclone had so much steering on carpet I had to use a 1.6 sway bar and 0* front block to stop it from hooking coming out of corners on power. I TQed and won every race after that. The xray guys went down working hard on there cars, my Cyclone ruled the carpet this winter in 10.5 rubber and I had fun doing it.

That i believe should reduce initial turn in.

I tried ackerman down to 2mm and back up .5mm at a time and ended up at 4mm. My car just did not feel right with anything other then 4mm.
Turbo
I tried all kind of springs, the stock springs worked the best for me.
oil 30
ride height 4.5
I started with Stew Noble's carpet wars setup, it had to much steering for me, you will think the back is lose and it will hook coming out on power.
