I also added the 2-4 gram weights to the mid motor weight kit for a total of 58 grams in the rear and my car was HOOKED up.

I was getting better forward traction than the rear motor guys who were just scrambling through different tires and anti-squat settings just trying to get rear grip.

Next time I go I am going to drop in the 3.5 degree HRC toe block and see how that feels, then play around with the 5 degree and 0 degree caster blocks.
I'm struggling to understand how going from 1 to 4 degree anti-squat gave you better forward traction!

how I understand it, if I want better traction coming out of a corner, or straight, I would want 0 or minimal anti-squat, to encourage the rear end to squat, hence more weight transfer, hence more rear traction. Maybe I'm in the wrong sport if I cannot understand a simple concept like antisquat!
