We will get it there. Also needs a touch more preload in the left caltrac bar

What is the gear in your trans and the rear gear??

Also when you make a tube or "normal" front end and get rid of all that transverse T bars, Go a little heavy on the front springs to calm down all that stored energy and pitch rotation. Also when taking weight off the front , IF you can, slide the engine forward an inch or so, youll be amazed at what it does for the bias without adding weight to the car.
Good luck, you have a TON of potential in this combo up
