The opposite and that is run the stock long ballstud (silver) when running lots of caster and add spacers when running 0 or 2 degrees of caster?

I dont test nearly as much as I did a few months ago-so just looking for info and theories before hitting the track. I get maybe one 4 minute practice session before a race anymore.Thanks in advance!!
For Carpet/Foam/stock racing I usually run 4 degree blocks with no spacers and kit ball studs. I think the biggest speed difference comes from driver feel then actual setup. Kind of like radio exponental, it makes no difference on how fast the car is... just how fast and easily somebody can drive the car.
