Front to rear weight bias
Front to rear weight bias Since I've went turbo I'm having traction issues. I believe all the extra weight on the nose has everything screwed up. What is everyones front and rear weight?

Best 60' with the iron block was a 1.418 on a slick leaving about the same rpm - 3900. GM A-body, lakewood 90/10's, moroso trick springs up front, King dual bypass maxed out valving in the rear.
Front 2054
Rear 1655 44.6%
Total 3709
After switching to an aluminum block we closed in on about 53/47 front to rear weight, which helped out our 60' without having to beat on the car. 1.395 on a 4.8L at 16 psi of boost as opposed to the above 1.418 on 24 psi. Left on 12 psi so it was all in well before the 60'.
