heat, if you would like a specific car tuned by all means let us know which one for which track in which class and we will see what we can do but as a general advice, the diff is the be all and end all. start there

as in the diff makes a massive difference on how the car behaves, its all about trial and error with it

Dont be afraid of making big changes with settings to get a car to perform, some of the stuff we try is just plain bonkers but it all seems to come together with a bit of trial and error.
Good luck

A good track to tune FWD's is maple valley, go round noting the spped you can take the corner at, because this corner needs constant acceleration its a good test, then change the diff accel and see what happens
