Perhaps all the added lead at the rear is causing a pendulem affect ??
When I get the rear sorted it will be even faster, but still great as is.
The front/overall grip in the sweeper is alot better than std chassis, perhaps its just a tradeoff that has to be made : fr or rear grip ???
My guess is you want to move your weight forward and also you may want to check your rear diff for slippage (it is critical!!!!). Also I would say you are running too thin front shock oil, I would try 600cst 3 hole or maybe even 2 hole.
Another thing to consider is you might have to put a post in the front to stiffen that end of the chassis up a little. When running the T2R fibreglass chassis on my T2008 I had to do this as the flex was too great at the front.
If the car is still bad then go to the higher roll centre front end. It does make some difference.
