stiffer springs all around, heavier fluid than stock. play w/front bars. dont leave too much droop in the car. give the car a rollout around what the motor likes, make sure the car is as 'free' as possible. tamiya is notorious for droppin some slugs for bearings in the kits. cs32s and a '6 lid to start.

40wt oil (tamiya yellow) kit springs..and kit shock locations. 
EDIT: i always use a front one way.
never really tried a front diff... but since i run mostly stock 27T... a front one way has more corner speed 
WHAT DO YOU RUN gary?

I run stock setup, stock oil, stock towers with TRF shocks, universals and the upgrade diff halves. White fronts and yellow rears, no bars at all. Down 1mm on front roll, up 1mm on rear roll, little bit of forward roll in the car at neutral.
Made the A the last three TCS races I was in, finished second in Memphis, so something must be in the ballpark. And oh yes, beat Gary.

Don't EVER let the fear of pissing off people keep you from offering up a valid opinion on the boards. Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with your original thoughts about silver can racing. People just don't like to hear alternate opinions...so forget them I say.
Don't worry, if you need help, theres always people around to answer, even if others are still pouting over someone thinking differently than them.
