Are you using any other methods to increase positive caster?    What is the current positive caster?

I am keen to know if you will perceive a difference and improvement.                   I would note that our friend Tom Upton was running positive 5-7 degrees and he noted another bit of improvement with the SACC electric power steering unit.  If Tom recommends power steering with big positive castor, then it might be a consideration.

Its floor has two large channels running front-to-back. Air travels under the vehicle and through the Venturi-shaped channels, which creates an area of low pressure and “sucks” the car to the track. Since the underside of the car provides much of the grip, the need for air on the wings to generate downforce is reduced.
