You can see there's less skewed roll at high speed when the front end can tuck under the outside front wheel a little bit on high speed corner entry so for me, the 30 deg bulkhead has really smoothed the car out.

directionally, if you felt that the 25 deg angle was smoother than the 20 deg taped wedge then the 30 degree block feels almost twice as smooth as the difference between the 20 and the 25.

Just throwing in here in case it helps - there's often more than one way to skin a cat :-)
Nice one Gnarly, you've saved me a test session... plus i swapped 30deg out of 22T to 25 deg for the reverse reasons, so got everything needed to bolt on

Get the feeling it won't be tomorrow as its looking to be damp and/or cool so won't be a lot of front end grip giving any issues anyways!

Good work Tom, i'm game for trying it if you get it done as i've been pretty settled with my set-up for a while, so easily notice small differences... plus have a couple of cars so back to back testing is a lot easier (having a permanent test venue to play with helps too !)
