Tire pressure will effect the under/oversteer.
I am running 32 f / 34 r vs factory 29 f /36 r

225/255 on 17's is much better the the factory 205/255 setup

What tires are you running?
Are you staying street stock, or running a modified class
Jay, I tried your pressures cold, and it seems to have given me a lot more steering at street speeds. Looks promising for competition tomorrow. Thanks!

Cool

Let up know how it worked out

I started thread a few weeks ago that has a formula for calculating tire pressure based on front and back weight and tire width

It gives you good starting point
Weight on front and rear
