Last weekend I ran on some carpet that hadn't been run on for a year+ after it was pulled up from being glued down. Traction was terrible until the main with a preset groove that pulled the car around. By the main my car was absolutely dialed. I ran:
Front:
Old style Jaco purple 1.60"
4mm ride height with .010 droop
.020 spring (AE style)
5000 kingpin lube
1.5 camber
0-.5 toe out
10 blocks both shims back
Rear:
Jaco Prism Gray 1.70"
IRS 3.5 ride height spacers down ~3.75mm ride height
Center shock 40wt, red spring, 2mm droop
Battery one position back from full forward
Stock flex plates
7000 in the tubes
Parma Speed 8 lightweight
This is for a Jack only track. Coat front tires 3/5 inside and full rear for as long as possible (about an hour). First ever TQ and first ever win racing with this crowd. This is with the original version of the car btw.

.20 front spring
#4 shur lube Lube on the Kingpins
1* Camber
0* toe
Center shock 35-40 weight try a blue spring (car may push) then go to a gold spring.
Battery position: Start out and the rear position it helps with rear traction but the trade off you may lose alittle on power steering.
Try 3# or #4 Irrgangs shur lube
Rear
Jaco Yellows you might what to true your (Rear) tires a little larger because a smaller size wont hold the traction as well.Also play with your rear track width go to a narrow width and see how that goes.
Lower your rear ride hide slightly heres a example:
front ride hight 4mm rear 3.5mm lowering the rear helps gain some traction
You may also want to try out a high down force body protoform speed 12 or a parma HD or a zytec body.
I think thats it if I missed something let me know
Hope this helps
