Since our cars are a bit heavy up front i feel like they'll have a lot of understeer at a track with the added weight.

what have you F.I guys experienced at the track?

I like to setup FR cars with square tire sizes for the very reason they usually have a forward weight bias. Then from their i would setup the suspension tune for rear end traction so the F/I power is used effectively
