Don't just go for a 'pro set up' and assume it will work, we all have different driving styles, what works for one may be undriveable for another. I tried a Tom Denardis (Aus fast stock guy) set up and I could barely turn a lap, the set up that works for me, usually gets a lot of negative remarks from the self proclaimed know it alls in Awesomatix land.
Start with kit set up and make one change at a time. I find that works best.

I tested a mazda 6 body against a type s tonight. Mazda 6 mounted as far forward as possible, type s in the neutral position. Very interesting how different the bodies handled. The type s initiates the turn more aggressively, then rolls pretty hard, but also rotates a ton better in the mid to exit. The Mazda 6 seemed very blah, I wanted more steering and rotation. But the track was on a new layout tonight, and the groove isn't quite there. I assume when traction comes up the type s will be traction rolling again. Lap times were pretty much the same with both bodies.

Using the lightweight Racer body running Mod. I like how the body handles a lot, however need some suggestions on how the keep the hood/windshield section from caving in at the end of the straight. I see there is a body support kit available. Is this the best option? Thanks!

How long is the straightaway?
Have you tried the am05c "front moustache"? I like this better / supports the body better.

Not super high speed. Running a 5T on indoor carpet. Straight is around 90’. I can hear the body “pop” at the end. I haven’t tried anything yet. I’m not using C26 in front, so am05c could fit. No one has found the need for a center support post or anything? Maybe that body was a little thinner than the last one. Thanks for the tips!

I use the “mustache” with the Racer lightweight and have no issues

The pop is likely the body flexing as your smash the brakes and transfer weight
Unless you on a huge high speed straightaway I don't see a 5th post need
