Has a slight push because of the overdrive(but everywhere else it on) but it hauls ass thru the infield and coming on to the 90ft straightI had raced for 15yrs and got out of it for 4yrs and just got back in it 3 months ago and Ive been working on my driving and the car set up wish I would of started in spring Id be right thier with our top drivers cause im close now just not consistant but going indoors to race 12th scale this winter will improve my driving alot.I still wanted to do some more changes to the car but our weather is getting colder and all and the outside racing is over.The setup I put up works for my driving style for now
hmm.. I think with the 2.5% (or 102.5% OD) we sort of hit the jackpot like D mentioned before.
Same OD I used, just put a pair of correct shore than the car suddenly became more forgiving to drive.

From your experience year of driving Im not even 10% comparing to you. So please share your comments for my feelings about the tire shore in 705...(Guys...Can we talk it in here?? or we must back to 705 thread?)
Here is my feeling (mostly happen in heat): when i do practice lap in 1-2min before heat and my car working perfectly from the beginning, I feel bad because mostly in half way to finish 5min heat the car handling is change to be having more grip in front.
If in the practice lap, my car is having slight push (on throttle) I know my car will getting better and stay consistan for 5 min heat and same feeling for long final.

I am very much appreciate your input, coz i think this tire shore is very critical, at least for my 705 setup.
