Bruce, from your description, sounds like you need to move the I.C. up and forward. I like to set the car up with scales and see what your weight bias is, then find the center of gravity(easily done with a floorjack under the car with a plank, find the balance front /rear.,record with tape measure from certain point on car). from this point youll most of the time,rule of thumb, have a I.C. close to this point and then you can see where your imaginary nuetral line will be, will help you get the car to react without driving the edge of the rim into the track and vice versa-smoking the tires from no traction.
The bigger your spread on the front mounting point of the 4 link the less prone to wheel stand, the closer together the more violent, because your making the make shift laddre bar shorter.
