The lash will open up more as it warms. But for a street combo, where tractoon is poor, the extra weight off the front end is golden. You can't recover that with the extra power of iron. Every last ounce of weight moved aft will help. I really noticed this when i changed weight distribution on my race car. I have enough driveway to do a test hit, and moving weight forward for the track absolutely killed traction on a non prepped surface, despite 15x33 slicks.
