Anyway, on the autocross in steady state cornering, I have alot of understeer. The IRS I am running keeps the car so planted it just plows that front end around. I am planning on going to a slightly smaller rear tire, which will allow me to take some negative camber out (currently -3 degrees) and will also be better for dragstrip launches, and lower it another 1/2 inch.
I can't run bigger front tires (limited to 225/45/17), any other ideas/tips/tricks?
thanks

Your front tires are most likely killing you.. what size are your rears?
Tomorrow we start ripping the car apart. The first thing to do is a story on swapping out the stock core support and AFCO radiator for a an aluminum one from AutoRad, along with thier HUGE crossflow radiator... We will also be transitioning to a air based Setrab type oil cooler. The AFCO in Penny now with move to the Track Rat project.
I've also started getting parts together for the new 427 sleeved LS3 engine.
We need to have her back on the road before March since I would like to run the Mojave Mile event.
