To be honest with you Randy, I don't think I could explain what it should feel like. But I do know that when I was running my 12l4, it worked best when there was hardly anything in between the damper disc's. Now I run my rug rat with tubes and it feels the same when I run light or standard hydradrive fluid. We run on asphalt only so I'm just giving you my take on things.

A friend of mine on carpet uses heavy hydradrive fluid to start out with in carpet but ends up using 30k to 50k in his tubes (calandra tubes). Hope this helps......

I think it also depends on the types of tubes you have. Or if you have discs then they guys running either the BMI or 12l4 cars would probably be able to give you some pointers on what it should feels like.
