Thank you for your advice!
I will try setting 4 in timing and 9 in boost as a start (Itīs a boosted class).
I hope that will be ok.
I usually have 50-55 celsius - I have much fun ahead

Good luck

Yes, normally when i run carpet i like the car to roll over the rear more, running a higher front hinge pin just gives it that balance and keeps the front end up a bit more in the corner. Although last year at the IIC and snowbirds the winners car did roll a lot over the nose and turned a lot. (Naito and alex). their cars looked to me like my car would with a lower front pin than rear. Maybe i am missing a piece of the puzzle but i still prefer the way that a car drives on carpet with the higher front pin. we will see in testing for Vegas if i can tune away from doing that this year.

Thanks
