Good info.
I imagine this will be the same effect depending on a 300tw, 200tw, or slick. Once I assemble everything I will check how much adjustment I have. Both the frame is slotted and the upper arms are slotted/slugged. Wouldn't be too bad to adjust upper arms depending on conditions or current use. As long as the wheels stay relatively centered in the wheel well for proper clearance.
Checking Temps across the front tires should be a good indicator.
Good notes of tire Temps with conditions should eventually get me where I need to be.
