Toe out will make the car more stable on the straights and normally give less turn in. Toe in will make it more twitchy and increase initial turn in. I'd compare his Ackermann and camber to your car's. Decreasing the front droop should limit the bump steer too.
No Oshberg for me either.

I had quite a bit of toe in on my car sunday and it was very unsettled. An absolute chore to drive. Advice from Stan, put about 1 degree toe out. Kept the ride height at 5mm and .5mm droop front and rear. And the car was extremely stable.. Much easier to drive. Then Tim helped me with the dual rate and now it's game on!!!

More Ackermann, the more parallel to each other the front wheels are at full steering throw, the more aggressive the car will turn. Also with the links angled the way they are out of the box, the car bump steers to toe in, which makes the car really aggressive. If you reduce Ackermann, the load bearing outside tire will be angled less and softens the mid corner grab. Perfect Ackermann would be inside and outside tires turn in perfect circles without tire scrub. I've never had it perfect, but it's a good thing to adjust if cornering is too aggressive.

Thanks Stan, toe in is exactly what I want, I need it to dive in less, and turn more out of the corner. The best I can figure this was the only difference between my car and my dads.

Emberassed to say what the issue was. The screw on the left front castor shims was loose allowing the whole left front to flop around. Going out on a limb here that was causing some handling issues. The toe in will help too.

This class has gotten very competitive fast. Lots of fast guys right now.

So curious to the whole racing etiquette deal. At 4:40 in I let Matt clear the right instead of forcing it and then I got inside of him turning into the turn before the loop and held my line to not get pinched turning into the loop straight and we got together, both still going at the end of it. Who is that on me, Matt, or racing for same spot?
