While it did seem to react more and gave more rounded steering mid corner, as the grip came up I didn't like it as it became more difficult to drive.
This was on a medium sized carpet track, but with 180 type corners, not longer 'flowing' corners.

Certainly something to try at your track, but I think most of the time I'll probably be tuning using the layshaft screws.

When I used it I didn't have the topdeck spaced up at all.
