Got ya . running stock we were still trying to make the big packs balance out in a light car, with no luck getting it below a 1372. Tho I fixed that issue by going to a A800 . lol now back to adding weight to hit min
As far as the weight , any weight place in front or behind the wheels makes a more aggressive approach to tuning .
By adding weight in front of the front wheels it adds 2x as much weight to the front bias (by transfering more weight from the rear ) and in our findings on carpet (better testing ground for setup changes ) adding any weight to the front of the car takes away steering in faster areas of the track (over 5mph) and makes the car slower change dirrections several top drivers will agree
