I am curious to find out the front/rear weight, but haven't had it on a scale yet.

It will, that's just to much stagger and front weight to avoid it. I never got all the push out of mine with a 295 up front.

I could plant my 650 hp big block in 2nd with R888's or BFG KDW's as long as I was in a straight line. Any deviation and I had to be more delicate with the pedal. I always found the major difference in lateral grip.

We have been playing with my Pontiac MR-1 block (weighs
a lot due to splayed caps, lifter bore bracing and the fact
I can bore it out to 545 inches)

Car pushed after I got the rear to hook up.. cut the front
sway bar shorter, heims, etc.. getting better.. still tweaking but now
going to 18's and hopefully larger contacts and still playing
with rear bar etc.. hopefully better rubber too

But the Power of 494 inches!!!.. yes

Sounds familiar. In my case, that's ok. I just drive it accordingly and enjoy the power on tap.

The only comparison I can give is the the standard Rival vs the S.
The S is significantly better in forward bite and turn in. My car has big power so launching it at the auto-x is always difficult, the first run on the S I nearly stalled it at the starting line because the grip was so much better. There were some durometer tests done in Nashville comparing the latest Falken and the S. Falken=55 and the S=51. A friend of mine was able to cut 1.9 60 ft times at the NJ pro solo on a unprepped surface in a stock C6 Z06 on the S.
