How much rake? Weight distribution question

Dwnshift

We just ran at Watkins glen... From turn 1 to bus stop... 3rd gear to 5th ... Braking at 400 marker... Flat 157 mph on DoT's...and factory Nismo body work.
Just sayin

No we have a clearance rule where IMSA slides a 3.5" (not 2.5" my bad) alum bar under the car... If it hits ANYTHING You are not legal.
This is why at the end of the race you will find mutiple cars driving offline to pick up as much junk on their tires as possible.

Every car is a little different.
Raising the rear of the car puts more weight on the nose... It also will make the car understeer through braking zone and understeer coming off the pedal.... To much nose weight
It will also make it loose from center out.
More rear bar will make your car snappy / loose and kill power down. The 370 with its shorter wheel base than the 350... Doesnt respond well to more rear bar.
It does respond well to front bar in a lot of good ways.
Put it this way... You wont be able to purchase an after market front bar that is too stiff.
A standard Nismo rear bar may be too much rear bar some tracks.

Hence you made your own bar. What's that bad boy cost??

May I challenge you on that for a moment? Hypothetically if two people are carrying an object at opposite ends, one lifting higher than the other. Wouldn't the one lifting higher be exerting more force and thus carrying more weight (up to a point)? For example, when corner balancing, raising a corner increases load on that corner and its counterpart and decreases weight on the other two corners.

Would that principle not apply to two wheels on the same side?

Thanks,
