Traditionally for asphalt you run 1.8" front and 1.9" rear. For carpet I run them at 1.75" and 1.85" to start. I use IRS milled lower AE arms (lowered .060") so I can use more of my front tires. With the IRS lower arms you can just about run the front down to the rim and still have decent ride height.

also the car goes to the right itself when i accelerate at low speed/from stand still. I've checked the tweak setting and it's perfect.. replaced the T-bar and still can't fix this problem.. i don't have this problem when running outdoor
Traction compound would fix this but since you can't use it try some platinum compound rears. They are softer and have more traction than pinks.

What are the other fast guys at your track doing? They would be a better source for help than us as they are racing under the same conditions you are.
