Fixed, I'll get some results up tomorrow, I've been lax the past few weeks and I apologize. Things have been hectic for me

Carl here is a small clip from the XXX-CRT Manual. It gives a simplified explanation. I tend to like a little bit of Bump-In on most of my cars. Including what is listed below I also feel it gives a little more stability in the car after landing a jump.

Too much can cause real issues in just all around handling. A few weeks ago I had the steering ball stud on the wrong side of the pivot on the 4X4. This caused a huge amount of bump steer. I chased the car all day.

Hope this helps

BTW I still have your springs.

Bump-In/Out: Bump-out (front of the front tires toe-outward under suspension compression) will result in more off-power steering and less
consisent handling if you have too much bump-out. This effect is obtained by adding washers under the steering spindle ball stud. Bump-In
(front of the front tires toe-inward under suspension compression) will result in less off-power steering and running too much bump-in can
make the steering feel very inconsistent. This effect is obtained by installing a ball stud washer on the bottom of the spindle. Testing has
shown that running a little bit of bump-in (kit setup) in the XXX-T CR offers the best overall setup.

Huh? what did I miss?

Edit: Okay I understand now, no I had the schedule backwords. Gene said he wanted to race every other weekend and have a weekend off for practice in between like we did in the begining, I just got it backwords and had this weekend as a practice weekend instead of a race weekend and had to switch things back around the put the correct weekends as race weekends
