You can check bite in the car meaning how heavy the LR is compared to the RR. The lower the number, the looser it will be. I'd start off with 90lbs, meaning the LR is 90lbs heavier the RR. That's bite. Most of the time Cross is related to bite or at least it usually plays out like that on the scales. 90lbs of bite will probably set you close to 49% cross. I don't race mods but I would imagine they handle like garbage if you get the bite up to high.

Hope things work out for you. I dont know a lot but what I do know I will share.

Re: modifeid set up Reply #7 - 11/08/10 at 6:59pm the j-bar or panhard bar is what raises the left front off the ground the lower you are on the pinion the lower your roll center which will tend to wanna raise the left front off the ground. the higher the cross and bite the tighter your gonna be i would set it around 75 pounds then play with your j-bar to fine tune jmo
