The car had a 63.4% bias toward the front. I was fairly happy with that, considering the AWD torque split (we wanted the weight distribution to equal the torque split, so the wheels would each be pulling at their optimum).

We adjusted the corners to equal that bias. In other words, the left side of the car is also 63% biased to the front, and the right side of the car is also 63% biased to the front. The left does not equal the right (in order to accomplish that, you'd have to drive the car down the road at an angle, since the driver is off-center).

The corners are all within 2 lbs of there ideal weight.

We also tweaked and balanced the nitrous system. We now have good control and flexibility in how we use the juice.

Took it for a little test drive. All I can say is:

WOO HOO!!!
