[QUOTE="SteveWK, post: 14657928, member: 139323"] Thanks for the replies. I have the stock rims which are 9.5" wide front and back, and it is driven mostly on the street. Tire pressures, if I remember correctly, were 34 PSI hot. The current alignment settings are: Front: Camber = -1.4 Caster = 5.1 Toe = 0.11 Steer Ahead = 0.00 Rear: Camber = -0.1 Toe = 0.01/-0.03 Thrust Angle = 0.02 Centered +/- 1/16" I do have caster/camber plates and can increase the camber. The track is 150 miles away. Not sure how much camber I can add without wearing the edge of the tire out driving to the track and back, but that might be an option. Something else just crossed my mind, I don't think I've ever turned the traction control off while at the track. I'm betting that is affecting how the car feels. Don't know why I didn't think of that until now - lol. I left it on to control the rear end on the straights since it would lose traction from time to time and kick out, but since I've added the complete Griggs rear that doesn't appear to be a problem anymore. As far as the tires go, this is what I did to one tire at the track. Probably not enough pressure and camber. [ATTACH]33923.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
