But being able to dial the car does however help equalize the field a bit!and moving weight is one way I plan on attacking it.
A standard turbostart weighs 46lbs. If you need more weight, run two, there is no disadvantage to running two 16v batteries, one will do it if you always have plenty of time to charge between passes other wise the battery is drained after two passes normally.

The right valving in the shocks will help as well, plenty of cars actually want 54% on the nose as it helps keep the front end down, the shock technology is to the point where you don't have to move weight around to aid them.
