I've tried 1 -1.5 camber; 6 - 9 camber; raised the side links 1mm; and tried every side spring I own. I've also worked with the center shock angles and diff tension from fully locked to so loose it slipped on any throttle. As the traction came up, the car pushed worse, and times slowed.

What am I missing?
I believe on that carpet you are supposed to go with the softest springs and ride height below 3.5mm.
