Also found you need to run a little less negative camber. Spool and black carpet combo seem to make the car very camber sensitive. Difference between doing somersault and quick laps can be .5 degree.

I have yet to try it with full out modified but with Can-am 10.5 it pretty easy to drive once you get the hang of it.
one more thing is you have to run thinner oil in the tubes.
If you run like 15K it will hook suddenly.
