Default Wanting more rear grip

If i want the rear of my 2wd to be more planted do i want to add or remove anti-squat? Im currently running a SC-R and just put in a tekin 7.5 so looking for a little more grip on acceleration. Also i have some new hubs coming which will give me an additional 1 deg of rear toe, How much will these adjustments help me?

Less anti-squat, more rear toe-in, and a higher roll center (lowering the rear camber link mounts on the tower) will all give more rear traction.....

Thats a lot of motor for that truck. Fun for sure but if your'e racing on anything other than a huge track it's just going to be harder to get the power down. Tuning for too much power is not the same thing as tuning for the lowest laptimes.
You might want to ask in the SCR thread.

softest compound tire is always the quickest route to finding rear traction!

Then do what the first guys stated!

I think he meant to say lower role center which is higher on the tower.

No a higher RC will give the most traction . I never lower RC until I want to take away traction been working for yrs

How would reducing the amount of roll by raising your RC increase your traction? On your car do you show a decrease in side bite when you let your car roll more?

I would say add a lil toe, I always ran 1* rear hubs on my SC/R when I had it!
With them my truck was always locked down in the rear!
