I checked out one of the local fast kids and he ran his about even with the antenna tube. I tried it and it was very good.
Since I'm so rusty, I'm basically 2 sec a lap of the pace. I was able to knock a second off that just with this one change. The car reacted quicker, I had more on power steering (which I was searching for) and I had good forward bite.
I think I'm locked in now setup wise. Just need to start hammering in consistency and then maybe when I grow up, I can be fast too!

I ran a shorty last night and I had it all the way back. I didn't like it at all. So I threw in a regualr stick pack and it was much better. I didn't try adjusting the location with the shorty yet. I'll try the antenna location and see how it goes.
