I run about 10 psi on the drivers side and 8 on the passengers side. if you don't have a lsd or spool it will help offset the weight and hook you up straight. thats my advise and also that of a fellow racer that gave me the idea maybe you have heard of him saul salseta not sure of the spelling of the last name?

just use stock, its better to brake an axle then your tranny.
also dont just drop the clutch pree load and feather it in a bit.

washers in the sway bar to preload the passenger side tire help as well, esp. with a fatass driver

Preloading owns you, or cdm axles owns you.

like adding wedge in NASCAR, or corner weighting in general.

no need for a sway bar to add wedge

put 2 washers on each stud of the LEFT REAR strut tophat, same could be done with the RIGHT FRONT strut

Cornerweighting without coilovers
