Rear Weight Percentage
art1:
How important is rear weight percentage? I currently have 50.3 and want to increase the rear percentage. Any opinions on the best way to increase the rear weight percentage and what is a good number for a 1/4 mile banked oval on asphalt.
Thanks for everyone's past responses, it has been helpful.

I'm at 50.9 and my understanding is rear weight is pretty important. I'm still learning setup so don't take my numbers as law by any means, but that is my current number.
My rookie opinion, Makes sense to me that if you lacked rear weight you would be loose and possibly lack bite. Too much rear would cause you to push.
Your only .6% off me, wouldn't imagine that to be too much difference. 5-7 lbs I would guess.
We run 3/8 Mile Asphalt.

Rear weight is very important IMO. If you want to be fast you need to be above 52%, this allows you to run more cross without being too tight and still rotating center. The best way to get more rear weight if you don't have to put lead on the car is to get the wilwood brake kit. This is 16lbs off the front that you can now move to the rear. If you have to put lead on the car the obvious way to get more rear weight is to place lead on the rear of the car. From personal experience I picked up over two tenths when I was able to get rear weight percentages up over 52%.
