It has a average streight with tight corners and they are all offset so what I am asking is what would happen if I went to the middle hole on the shock tower instead of the inside, would it feel lazier or more planted and therefor letting me push it harder. Also I balanced it and ended up with the front spings brown inside inside and the rear green's inside on the shock tower and outside on the arms. 35wt oil in the front and 30 wt in the rear.
if you shorten the front link( no change in RC) it will make that end of the car more aggressive, once the weight transfers to that end of the car you will have more traction at the same end. not neccesarily a good thing but would work better in loose conditions. generally when you have high grip you look for a good overall balance in feel. Like Fred says, try the extreme first so you have a definitive difference in feel.
to add to this if you want to have the ability to push your car harder oversteer is a bad thing. you want a smooth balanced car that transitions well with slight turn in push. 2wd is dependent on setup more so than any other class and are very sensitive to small adjustments. if i were you i would play with front tire choices first and then fine tune. everyone drives different so you cant depend on a standard setup if you want to go faster than the person next to you!
