I tried the 17.5 blocks with the -1 degree insert and I didn't like them as well as the 13 degree carriers. I just put the TKI3 b block on my car and I'll try it out next weekend and see how I like.

The out of the box set-up worked good for me except for in the rhythm section where it caused the front end to pop-up making this section very difficult to handle consistently. I am hoping the the increased kick-up that the TKI3 b block will provide will cure this problem.
