    on 7-12 degrees, more caster is better at speed then?
    how would this equate/effect high speed vs parking lot driving with a blown big block?
    I don't want to road race, but I guarantee I'll beat this sucker like it stole something

    We went with 7 degrees strictly because that's what his fixture is set for.

    However the x-members both front and back are just heavy tig tacked on the corners.

    until I can get the body to a reasonable stage I don't know how all the locations and positions we currently have will werk out.

    my dilemma in this regard is I can't fully commit to (anything on this project lol) how much rake I want in the frame, and body, until I can place them together and play with it.

    That's correct, caster helps the car go straighter. Weight on the front end does have an affect on how hard it is to steer. These cars have such an engine position that the weight distribution is really pretty good. So as for as your motor I wouldn't be afraid of running 6 or 7 degrees in it at ride height.
    This is my red roadster and I run 8 degrees in it, and my wife drives it to the grocery store.
