I used 37 shore front and 40 shore rear and the car behaved about the same too.
Updated setup for last weekend below. Ran very nice and consistant. Works great on small tracks too.

Changed the pipe and the engine had tremendous RPM that I tend to overshoot in the sweeper and at the end of the straights.
Like I mentioned previously, the setup works well with 37 shore front and 40 shore rear tires.
Hope to get to run front diffs this weekend and see how the car handles.
